Elisabeth Elliot often quoted this Saxon poem and I find it echoing through my mind often as I go about my day.
Do it immediately, do it with prayer;Do it reliantly, casting all care;Do it with reverence, tracing His handWho placed it before thee with earnest command.Stayed on Omnipotence, safe ‘neath His wing,Leave all results, do the next thing.
Do it immediately, do it with prayer;
Do it reliantly, casting all care;
Do it with reverence, tracing His hand
Who placed it before thee with earnest command.
Stayed on Omnipotence, safe ‘neath His wing,
Leave all results, do the next thing.
