Possible to God

What though I cannot break my chain
Or e’er throw off my load,
The things impossible to men
Are possible to God.

Bound down with twice ten thousand ties,
Yet let me hear Thy call;
My soul in confidence shall rise,
Shall rise and break through all.

Thou canst o’ercome this heart of mine,
Thou wilt victorious prove;
For everlasting strength is Thine,
And everlasting love.
--Augustus Toplady (1740-1778), 'What Though I Cannot Break My Chain'
