GPP 70: Christ Jesus Is Able

The Spirit of Christ Jesus is at work
Within each believer, to guide him through
This life: Which path to take, and which to shirk,
He shows, in earth’s maze and hullabaloo!
What He does is so less than He’s able,
Flesh cannot imagine all He can do,
Not e’en in wonders of myth and fable,
The greatest but children at skip-to-my-lou!
None can match our Lord in pow’r and might;
With voice alone, He made the universe;
When all earth’s armies assemble to fight*,
He roars from Zion**—their troops perish first!
He was before time, and after will be;
For ever and ever, Christ Jesus He!

*Joel 3:9
**Joel 3:16

Promise Made: Ephesians 3:20 (Paul writes)—
“Now to him [Christ Jesus] who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations for ever and ever. Amen.” (NIV) [Brackets added]

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

“That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)
