Praise and Worship ‎#14

14. "Are Ye Able?" Said the Master

1 "Are ye able," said the Master,
"To be crucified with Me?"
"Yea," the sturdy dreamers answered;
"To the death we follow Thee."

Refrain
"Lord, we are able."
Our spirits are Thine.
Remold them; make us like Thee, divine.
Thy guiding radiance above us shall be
A beacon to God, to love and loyalty.

2 "Are ye able" to remember,
When a thief lifts up his eyes,
That His pardoned soul is worthy
Of a place in paradise? [Refrain]

3 "Are ye able" when the shadows
Close around you with the sod,
To believe that spirit triumphs,
To commend your soul to God? [Refrain]

4 "Are ye able?" still the Master
Whispers down eternity.
And heroic spirits answer,
Now, as then in Galilee, [Refrain]
