Working His Will

"He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ... For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure" (Philippians 1:6, 2:13).

Christian, God continues now
To work His will inside of you,
Showing by example how
To shine His light in all you do.

His work at Calvary is done;
He left no task unfinished there.
His work in you He has begun,
And still performs with wondrous care.

Let us, therefore, now surrender
All we are into His hands.
He alone is our Defender;
All our ways He understands.

So working in us His good pleasure,
He conforms us by His grace
To be like Christ in fuller measure,
Till we meet Him face to face.

Blessings higher than the stars
And mercies deeper than the sea:
What salvation thus is ours
That works His will in you and me!
