And I Am Sure of This...

Phil. 1:6-- "And I am sure of this, that He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ."

Phil. 1: 6
A work begun so long ago,
Sometimes I think it's barely started;
But He is faithful, and I know
That on the day that I've departed
This sin-sick world to be with God,
That work begun which He's called good,
He'll finally pronounce complete,
And I will sit at Jesus' feet.

For countless years I'll see the Hand
That finished the work ere it began;
And I will know with certainty-
My Christ has had that Hand on me.

On days I am not sure of much,
(Those days come frequently),
I can be sure of this one thing-
He will complete His work in me.

Dear perennial heart, bloom with joy, for the work begun will most certainly be completed.
