Over the Line

1. Oh, tender and sweet was the Father’s voice
   As He lovingly called to me,
   “Come over the line, it is only a step—
   I’m waiting, My child, for thee.”
    
   • Refrain 1-3:
     “Over the line,” hear the sweet refrain,
     Angels are chanting the heavenly strain;
     “Over the line!”—Why should I remain
     With a step between me and Jesus?
2. “But my sins are many, my faith is small”;
   Lo! the answer came quick and clear:
   “Thou needest not trust in thyself at all,
   Step over the line, I’m here.”
3. “But my flesh is feeble,” with tears I said,
   “And the way I cannot see;
   I fear if I try I may sadly fail,
   And thus may dishonor Thee.”
4. The world is so cold that I cannot go back,
   Press forward I surely must;
   I’ll lay my weak hand in His wounded palm,
   Step over the line, and trust.
    
   • Refrain 4:
     “Over the line,” hear the sweet refrain,
     Angels are chanting the heavenly strain;
     “Over the line!”—I will not remain,
     I’ll cross it and go to Jesus.
