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.
