APPARENT FAILURE

Had Jesus failed He would not have been nailed,

To the tree on Calvary’s brow.

But He was nailed, though others thought He failed.

He was triumphant then and now!

Will your self-life cease its self-strife?

Be willing to start to bow?

Will your strong strife loose its stubborn life?

The Spirit will show you how!
