I Do Not Come Because My Soul (EN 4708)

EN 4708 I Do Not Come Because My Soul

Rom.7.25

Versi Version 1

1

I do not come because my soul

Is free from sin and pure and whole

And worthy of Thy grace;

I do not speak to Thee because

I’ve ever justly kept Thy laws

And dare to meet Thy face.

2

I know that sin and guilt combine

To reign o’er every thought of mine

And turn from good to ill;

I know that, when I try to be

Upright and just and true to Thee,

I am a sinner still.

3

I know that often when I strive

To keep a spark of love alive

For Thee, the powers within

Leap up in unsubmissive might

And oft benumb my sense of right

And pull me back to sin.

4

I know that, though in doing good

I spend my life, I never could

Atone for all I’ve done;

But though my sins are black as night,

I dare to come before Thy sight

Because I trust Thy Son.

5

In Him alone my trust I place,

Come boldly to Thy throne of grace,

And there commune with Thee.

Salvation sure, O Lord, is mine,

And, all unworthy, I am Thine,

For Jesus died for me.
