LyicsI AM coming to the cross;
I am poor and weak and blind;
I am counting all but dross;
I shall full salvation find.-REF.
REF.-I am trusting, Lord, in thee,
Blest Lamb of Cal-va-ry;
Humbly at thy cross I bow,
Seeking thy sal-va-tion now.
Long my heart has sighed for thee,
Long has evil reigned within;
Now thy message comes to me,
"I will cleanse thee from all sin."-REF.
Here I give my all to thee,
Friends and time and earthly store,
Soul and body, thine to be-
Wholly thine for evermore.-REF.
Gladly I accept thy grace;
Gladly I obey thy word;
All thy promises embrace,
O my Saviour and my Lord!-REF.
