I Can Do This and Nothing Less
God gives a tempo to march to, more steady than a heart beat.
Its cadence guides me through my doubt and moves my hesitant feet.
God gives a faith that conquers fear, a bold and holy trust
To oppose the spirit of this age 'til it returns to dust.
I can do this and nothing less than to claim the power that I possess-
To apply the truth that ever lives- to appropriate the life Christ gives.
God gives a cause and a command to possess the power he brings
So I'll take courage and be strong- In Christ I can do all things.
