170. 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,
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 reign'd 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 Jesus comes! He fills my soul!
Perfected in Him I am;
[Chorus]
