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.D. C.—I am trusting, Lord, in thee,O thou 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."

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 thy promises I trust,Now I feel the blood applied;I am prostrate in the dust,I with Christ am crucified.
