I Do Not Come Because My Soul
Is Free From Sin And Pure And Whole
And Worthy Of Thy Grace;
I Do Not Speak To Thee Because
I’ve Ever Justly Kept Thy Laws
And Dare To Meet Thy Face.
I Know That Sin And Guilt Combine
To Reign O’er Every Thought Of Mine
And Turn From Good To Ill;
I Know That, When I Try To Be
Upright And Just And True To Thee,
I Am A Sinner Still.
I Know That Often When I Strive
To Keep A Spark Of Love Alive
For Thee, The Powers Within
Leap Up In Unsubmissive Might
And Oft Benumb My Sense Of Right
And Pull Me Back To Sin.
I Know That, Though In Doing Good
I Spend My Life, I Never Could
Atone For All I’ve Done;
But Though My Sins Are Black As Night,
I Dare To Come Before Thy Sight
Because I Trust Thy Son.
In Him Alone My Trust I Place,
Come Boldly To Thy Throne Of Grace,
And There Commune With Thee.
Salvation Sure, O Lord, Is Mine,
And, All Unworthy, I Am Thine,
For Jesus Died For Me.
