I am coming to the cross

lyricist: William McDonald
Composer: William Gustavus Fischer

I am coming to the cross;

I am poor

and weak

and blind;

I am counting all but dross;

I shall full salvation find.

I am trusting

Lord

in Thee

Blessed Lamb of Calvary;

Humbly at Thy cross I bow

Save me

Jesus

save me now.

Long my heart has sighed for Thee;

Long has evil dwelt within;

Jesus sweetly speaks to me

“I will cleanse you from all sin.”

Here I give my all to Thee—

Friends and time and earthly store

Soul and body Thine to be—

Wholly Thine forevermore.

In the promises I trust;

Now I feel the blood applied;

I am prostrate in the dust;

I with Christ am crucified.
