Filled with shame because of sin;
As I am in conscious weakness,
Here I would salvation win.
Refrain:
All I have I leave for Jesus,
I am counting it but dross;
I am coming to the Master,
I am clinging to the cross.
Clinging, clinging,
Clinging to the cross.
2 O the joy of knowing Jesus,
It is dawning on my soul;
I am finding His salvation,
And the power that makes me whole. [Refrain]
3 O refine me by Thy Spirit,
Make my earthly life sublime,
With my heart a home for Jesus,
Till I’m done with earth and time. [Refrain] Used With Tune: SAN GIOVANNI Text Sources: The Revivalist, by Joseph Hillman (New York: Joseph Hillman, 1868)
