10. What Am I?

1 What am I that God should call me
From the wreck if ruined years,
Set His wondrous love upon me,
Cleanse my heart, allay my fears?
Just a sinner, nothing better,
All unworthy of His tho’t;
How my soul is filled with wonder
As I see what God hath wro’t!

Chorus:
Help me, Lord, the news to tell,
Of salvation dearly bo’t;
Faithful witness may I be
Of what God the Lord hath wro’t.

2 What am I that God should claim me
Child and heir of grace divine?
Why the glories found in Jesus
Should He count them all as mine?
I was outcast, Jesus found me,
With His blood my life He bo’t;
How my soul is filled with rapture
As I see what God hath wro’t. [Chorus]

3 What am I that God should need me,
While He has on ev’ry hand
myriads of holy angels,
Only waiting His command?
For a final explanation
All along the years I’ve sought,
Still I only say with wonder,
This is what the Lord hath wro’t. [Chorus]

4 What am I that God should crown me
When my work on earth is done;
Let me share the throne of glory
With His well-beloved Son;
Let me dwell eternal ages
In the home so dearly bo’t?
Then my song shall be forever,
Only what the Lord hath wro’t. [Chorus]
