IT’S NO SECRET <\/p>\n

It’s not in me, and it’s not in you,
\nIt’s only God who can see us through.
\nFor if you think you can do it well,
\nMake no mistake, you’re bound to fail.<\/p>\n

You can surely boast in your pride,
\nBut only fools in God do not abide.
\nOur strength alone is just not enough,
\nWe’ll fall down when the going’s tough.<\/p>\n

It’s no secret where our strength lies,
\nOn Jesus alone we must keep our eyes.
\nYes, we are weak, but He is strong,
\nSo trust in Him to sing victory’s song.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
