only Christ within me

the truth I am empty,

I am broken, useless

a stutterer like Moses

flawed as can be

whatever good I may do

only because of Jesus

only Christ within me

leads me in the way

toward the light

only the Spirit

moving through me

only good from the Lord

working within me

all else a sham, loss

broken as I am
