Habakkuk 2

Then the Lord replied: "Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay."

Not I, But Christ

Not I, but Christ 


By Ada A. Whiddington / A. B. Simpson


… I no longer live, but Christ lives in me… (Galatians 2:20 NIV)


Not I, but Christ be honored, loved, exalted,

Not I, but Christ be seen, be known, be heard;

Not I, but Christ in every look and action,

Not I, but Christ in every thought and word.


Not I, but Christ to gently soothe in sorrow,

Not I, but Christ to wipe the falling tear;

Not I, but Christ to lift the weary burden,

Not I, but Christ to hush away all fear.


Christ, only Christ, no idle word e'er falling,

Christ, only Christ, no needless bustling sound;

Christ, only Christ, no self-important bearing,

Christ, only Christ, no trace of “I” be found.


Not I, but Christ my every need supplying,

Not I, but Christ my strength and health to be;

Christ, only Christ, for spirit, soul, and body,

Christ, only Christ, live then Thy life in me.


Christ, only Christ, ere long will fill my vision,

Glory excelling soon, full soon I'll see;

Christ, only Christ, my every wish fulfilling,

Christ, only Christ, my all in all to be.


Oh, to be saved from myself, dear Lord,

Oh, to be lost in Thee,

Oh, that it might be no more I,

But Christ that lives in me.
