Once it was the blessing, now it is the Lord
Once it was the feeling, now it is His Word
Once His gifts I wanted, now the Giver own
Once I sought for healing, now for Himself alone
Once was painful trying, now 'tis perfect trust;
Once a half salvation, now the uttermost.
Once 'twas ceaseless holding, now He holds me fast;
Once 'twas constant drifting, now my anchor's cast.
Once 'twas busy planning, now 'tis trustful prayer
Once 'twas anxious caring, now He has the care
Once 'twas what I wanted, now what Jesus says
Once 'twas constant asking, now 'tis ceaseless praise
Once it was my working, His it hence shall be
Once I tried to use Him, now He uses me
Once the power I wanted, now the Mighty One
Once for self I labored, now for Him alone!
