So I Come

Could I come to Thee just as I am
With all the sin and guilt I bear (Rom. 3:23)
Could You forgive the man I am (Col. 2:13)

 And my clothes of unrighteousness You’ll wear (II Cor. 5:21)

How could love reach so far? (I John 4:16)
Could grace truly go this deep? (Rom. 5:20)
Will mercy touch a man this low? (Eph. 2:4)
Will forgiveness be my keep? (Ps. 32:1-5)
 
I kneel now before Your cross
My heart knows no other place to be
I survey the wonders I am told (Col. 1:13-14)
And gaze at death in front of me (John 19:16-30)

Then my eyes were enlightened (John 6:44)
I saw this death was done for me (Rom. 5:8)
It was my sin that He bore (I Peter 2:24)
It was the Fathers glory that kept him on that tree (John 12:27-28)

I began to weep on that hill
I fell on my face for I could not bear
To think He is innocent (I John 3:5)
It was me… I put Him there (I Cor. 15:3)

Then I heard a voice call out my name
Its tone was gentle and full of love (John 3:16)
Who would reach to a vile man like I (Eph. 2:1-4)
But it was my Savior whispering from above (I Tim.4:10)

He said “My righteousness I give to you
For your unrighteousness I take (I Cor. 5:21)
I will make you whole and new (Gal. 2:20)
For this is for My names sake. (I John 2:12)

No…how can this be
I must do something to earn such grace (Titus 3:5-6)
But no He quickly spoke forth
Your righteousness will be but a waist (Is. 64:6)

So I come in faith to the cross (Eph. 2:8-9)
My load here I will release
I’m overwhelmed by what you’ve done
My life now has a new peace (Romans 5:1)

My Savior has forgiven me (II Tim. I: 9-10)
My God’s wrath is satisfied (Rom. 3:25)
My life has been made new (I Cor. 5:17)
For in Your love I will abide (John 15)

Thank You Jesus for the cross (Col. 1:19-21)
Thank You for the price You paid (I Cor.6:20)
Thank You Jesus for the cross (Gal. 6:14)
For my life is Yours this I pray (Col 3:4)

My Prayer

Father, I am here only for one purpose and that is to see Your name glorified. I have but one life to live and I don't want to waste it. I count all things to be loss in order to know You and live in fellowship with You. I am Yours and my prayer is that you will use me for Your kingdom. I am an ambassador of the Gospel and don't take that calling lightly.This blog is here for another way for me to glorify You and to tell the world the great things that You have done. If 2 people read this or 2 thousand my mission will not change. Jesus, use me I pray. I am nothing without You, but with You I can do all things.

In Him, I live, move and exist -Acts 17:28
