“You just can’t do it” (#43)

No matter what you might do or how hard you may try,
To think that you can live the Christian life all alone is a lie.
You need Jesus Christ to cover your sin, and enable you to do good.
You also need to have fellowship with fellow believers in your neighborhood.
To attempt the journey alone is impossible-all those who attempt it WILL fail;
If it were possible to do solo, then the cross and every single nail
Driven into Jesus’ flesh would have absolutely no point.
The Christian walk is NOT possible alone; the effort must be joint.
Only with God in your heart and others by your side can this journey be possible at all.
After all, there is no true army of one-united we stand, but divided we fall.
