WOODWORTH · 8.8.8.8
Scripture
Romans 10:9
Verse 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.
Refrain
I am trusting, Lord, in Thee.
O Thou 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
Jesus comes! He fills my soul!
Perfected in Him I am;
I am every whit made whole —
Glory, glory to the Lamb!

A popular invitation hymn calling sinners to surrender their lives at the cross of Christ.
