Coram Deo

I Am Coming to the Cross

Highlight

Verse 1

I am coming to the cross;
I am poor, and weak, and blind;
I am counting all but dross;
I shall thy salvation find.

Refrain

I am trusting, Lord, in thee,
Blest Lamb of Calvary;
Humbly at thy cross I bow;
Save me, Jesus, save me now.

Verse 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.

Verse 3

Here I give my all to thee--
Friends, and time, and earthly store;
Soul and body thine to be--
Wholly thine--forevermore.

Verse 4

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

Verse 5

Jesus comes! he fills my soul!
Perfected in love I am!
I am ev’ry whit made whole;
Glory! glory to the Lamb!
