"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.
