Christ Our Advocate — Don Fortner

(Tune: #118 — When I Survey — LM)

1.    O sinner, helpless, poor, and lost,

While hell with guilt and fears accosts,

Broken and bowed with this great weight,

Trust Christ, the Lord our Advocate.

2.    No sinner’s cause is worse than mine,

But Christ my Advocate Divine, —

The Lord my Righteousness, with God

Pleads His obed’ence and His blood.

3.    This is the Gospel’s sweet good news,

This plea God’s justice can’t refuse!

While Jesus pleads my soul shall live;

And all the praise to Him I’ll give!

4.    Here in the dust I take my place,

My shame, my sin I must confess.

I’ll tell my Advocate my case,

And trust the riches of His grace!

5.    Bring with your sin the Savior’s blood,

And bow before the throne of God;

There you will find His mercy great,

Trusting in Christ our Advocate!
