Shall I drift, or pull with effort to reach the shore?
In dry days when the river is slow, crossing is easy. In the days after rains, I strain against the current to reach the shore. Is one more your will simply because it is easier, Lord?
Let me be ready to work, that I may enact your will. Direct my energies, that I may be your oarsman.
Let the river rush.
