MY LOVE, MY SAVIOR, I CONFESS
Don Fortner
(Tune:
Must Jesus Bear The Cross Alone? #342 CM)
<CENTER>My
love, my Savior, I confess
Is not
as it should be;
But
freely I love You, my Lord,
Because
You first loved me.
Not to
my nature, nor my will,
But to
Your sovereign grace,
To Your
eternal love for me,
My love
to You I trace.
I love
You not for what I've gained
Of
peace and happiness,
Though
all the riches of Your grace
To me
are measureless! </P>
My love flows out to You because
You are
the best Beloved:
Fairer
than all the fairest, Lord,
You're
worthy to be loved!
You
took my sin and bore God's wrath
Upon
the cursed tree:
You
gave Your life, O Christ, my God,
Compelled
by love for me!
And now
constrained by Your great love,
Savior,
whom I adore,
I give my love to You and ask
For
grace to love You more.
