A CHRISTIAN LIFE
It’s not one battle to be won,
which we may either lose or win.
No, all our lives we have to win
temptations, day by day to overcome.
One can not knock about and pray:
“Oh Lord, make all things well!
Be Thou for ever in our midst to stay!”
That is like hell.
For then He is so near,
to frighten with His wrath.
But who lay bare to Him their broken heart,
comforts He.
