Struggling After Christ

Charles Wesley • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 139:23

Verse 1

Ah! whither should I go, Burdened, and sick, and faint? To whom should I my troubles show And pour out my complaint?

Verse 2

My Savior bids me come; Ah! why do I delay? He calls the weary sinner home, And yet from Him I stay.

Verse 3

What is it keeps me back From which I cannot part, Which will not let the Savior take Possession of my heart?

Verse 4

Some cursed thing unknown Must surely lurk within: Some idol which I will not own, Some secret bosom sin.

Verse 5

I now believe in Thee; Compassion reigns alone; According to my faith, to me O let it, Lord, be done.
