I am coming to the cross

1
I am coming to the cross;
I am poor, and weak, and blind;
I am counting all but dross;
I shall full salvation find.
 
I am trusting, Lord, in Thee,
Blessed Lamb of Calvary;
Humbly at Thy cross I bow,
  Save me, Jesus, save me now.
2
Long my heart has sighed for Thee;
Long has evil dwelt within;
Jesus sweetly speaks to me,
“I will cleanse you from all sin.”
3
Here I give my all to Thee—
Friends and time and earthly store,
Soul and body Thine to be—
Wholly Thine forevermore.
4
In the promises I trust;
Now I feel the blood applied;
I am prostrate in the dust;
I with Christ am crucified.

1. I am coming to the cross;

I am poor and weak and blind;

I am counting all but dross;

I shall full salvation find.

Chorus:

I am trusting, Lord, in Thee,

Blessed Lamb of Calvary;

Humbly at Thy cross I bow;

Save me, Jesus, save me now.

Yet sin ruled my heart within;

But today Christ gently says,

"I'll remove your every sin."

Renews spirit, body, soul.

His blood washes every sin;

His redemption makes me whole.

Thank the Lord, I have been graced,

Sins forgiven, joy within;

Praise the Lord! I have been saved;

With bright eyes I'm foll'wing Him.

Friends and time and earthly store,

Soul and body Thine to be—

Wholly Thine forevermore.
