48. 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.

Chorus:
I am trusting, Lord, in Thee,
Blest 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 reigned within;
Jesus sweetly speaks to me,
"I will cleanse you from all sin." [Chorus]

3 Here I give my all to Thee,
Friends, and time, and earthly store;
Soul and body Thine to be,
Wholly Thine for evermore. [Chorus]

4 In Thy promises I trust,
Now I feel the blood applied;
I am prostrate in the dust,
I with Christ am crucified. [Chorus]

5 Jesus comes! He fills my soul!
Perfected in Him I am;
I am ev'ry whit made whole:
Glory, glory to the Lamb. [Chorus]
