Tune:[I am coming to the cross]
Composer:William G. Fischer

21. 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.
Blessèd 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.” (Chorus)

3 Here I give my all to Thee:,--
Friends and time and earthly store;
Soul and body Thine to be,--
Wholly Thine forevermore. (Chorus)

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

5 Jesus comes! He fills my soul!
Perfected in Him I am;
I am ev'ry whit made whole:
Glory, glory to the Lamb! (Chorus)
