The Life of This One

This ache so deep and contrite seems
that it cannot be told; I understand 
it's reason, but wish it wasn't so.

My heart within me is melting as it's
been torn in two; I know because of
weakness, I lack in having faith.

The will to completely abide is here
yet seems so far away; my will and
my want have become one.

I know JESUS saves yet I feel 
just a waver of doubt; will
salvation come to the life of this one?
 
JESUS has prevailed and I know 
each heart is known; the lost can be
saved and the saved never lost.

Salvation can come to the life of 
this one; JESUS is CHRIST and He
knoweth the very life of this one.
