I Cannot Change My Sinful Heart,
Nor Make It Pure And Sweet,
But I Can Do What Is My Part:
Bring It To Jesus’ Feet.
At Jesus’ Blessed Feet,
My Soul’s Divine Retreat,
I Find The Needed Help Each Day
To Walk The Narrow Way.
I Cannot Even Half Repent
Of Deeds That Have Been Wrong,
But I Can Turn About And Leave
The Path I’ve Traveled Long.
I Cannot Keep This Newfound Way
In My Own Human Strength,
But I Can Trust In Him Whose Power
Will Conquer Sin At Length.
I Cannot Bring My Life To Christ
By My Desires Alone,
But I Can Tell My Wish To God,
And Bind It To His Throne.
Perhaps I May Not Serve Him Long,
My Days May Soon Be Done;
But I Can Give Each Day To Him
With Every Rising Morn.
