"GOD FORBID THAT I SHOULD GLORY"
Don Fortner
(Tune:
MY Faith Has Found A Resting Place #228
CMD)
"God forbid that I should glory
Save in the cross of Christ,"
The
message of salvation free
Through
Christ my Substitute!
Upon the cross my Savior died
Beneath
the wrath of God!
He bore
my sins! I'm justified!
Christ
bought me with His blood!
"God forbid that I should glory
Save in
the cross of Christ!"
I boast
not of my righteousness,
But
Christ alone I trust.
My
noblest thoughts and purest works
Are
only filthy rags.
I'm
saved by my Redeemer's works;
Of Him
alone I'll brag!
"God forbid that I should glory
Save in
the cross of Christ!"
Say,
sinner, will you look to Christ,
The
slaughtered Lamb of God?
His blood alone, His blood alone
Has
merit with the Lord!
So
trust His sin-atoning blood;
Be reconciled to God.
