I Can Do Nothing

New year’s resolutions
Fall by the wayside
In my own power
Built on foolish pride

You said I can do nothing
Without You as my guide
Why is this simple lesson
So hard for me to abide

Lord, take my life
Mold it in Your hands
Instill in me abandonment
From my natural plans

Carve me into Your image
Holy Spirit, take control
Do with me what You will
And never let me go…..

For I can do nothing
Without You
I am nothing
I am nothing
Without You

Julia, This is the best way to start the new year - getting back to basics. Placing your life into his hands to be moulded...I love this poem but I feel the tune of a song as I read it. Thanks for sharing and make sure this promise you renew each day - I think I'll claim it as my own - If you don't mind :)
Blesisngs & happy new year!

It is very true, Julia, we can do nothing without the Lord. May 2007 prove to you that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. God bless you.
