God laid my sins on Jesus

1
God laid my sins on Jesus,
His spotless, holy Lamb;
Instead of me, God cursed Him,
Now full released I am.
Upon His faultless Lamb, God
Was pleased my faults to lay,
That He for me should suffer,
My debt of sin to pay.
2
My sickness laid on Jesus,
The lash for me endured;
My weaknesses He carried
That I be fully cured.
My misery on Jesus,
He bore it all for me;
My sorrow He abolished
And gave me joy and peace.
3
I now have rest in Jesus,
My King of Righteousness;
His death met God’s demand, and
His blood my conscience cleansed.
Now all my trust’s in Jesus,
My strength for ev’ry hour;
His living shows God’s riches,
His life in me empow’rs.
4
I give my heart to Jesus,
That there He’d be enthroned
To be my Lord and life, and
In me to make His home.
According to His pattern
I hope to live each day;
His attitude and actions
May He through me display!

This is based on the hymn by Horatius Bonar:

1 I lay my sins on Jesus,

the spotless Lamb of God;

He bears them all, and frees us

from the accursed load;

I bring my guilt to Jesus,

to wash my crimson stains

white in His blood most precious,

till not a spot remains.

-------

2 I lay my wants on Jesus;

all fullness dwells in Him;

He heals all my diseases,

He doth my soul redeem;

I lay my griefs on Jesus,

my burdens and my cares;

He from them all releases,

He all my sorrow shares.

------------

3 I rest my soul on Jesus,

this weary soul of mine;

His right hand me embraces,

I on His breast recline.

I love the Name of Jesus,

Immanuel, Christ, the Lord;

like fragrance on the breezes

His Name abroad is poured.

---------

4 I long to be like Jesus,

meek, loving, lowly, mild;

I long to be like Jesus,

the Father's holy Child;

I long to be with Jesus

amid the heav'nly throng,

to sing with saints His praises,

to learn the angels' song.

When we appreciate what the Lord has done for us personally we begin to respond like this:

I give my heart to Jesus,

That there He’d be enthroned

To be my Lord and life, and

In me to make His home.

According to His pattern

I hope to live each day;

His attitude and actions

May He through me display!
