What Tho' I Cannot Break My Chain

Charles Wesley • English

Primary Scripture: Mark 10:26-27

Verse 1

What tho' I cannot break my chain or e'er throw off my load, the things impossible to men are possible to God.

Verse 2

Who, who shall in thy presence stand, or match Omnipotence; unfold the grasp of thy right hand and pluck the sinner thence?

Verse 3

Faith to be healed I fain would have, O might it now be giv'n; thou canst, thou canst the sinner save, and make me meet for heav'n.

Verse 4

Bound down with twice ten thousand ties, yet let me hear thy call; my soul in confidence shall rise, shall rise and break through all.

Verse 5

Thou canst o'ercome this heart of mine, thou wilt victorious prove; for everlasting strength is thine, and everlasting love.
