In Your Cross, My Dying God    Don Fortner

(Tune: #169 Holy Spirit, Faithful Guide – 77.77D)

1.       In Your cross, my dying God,

       In the fountain of Your blood,

       I see everlasting love,

       Love that time cannot remove!

       Though all hell enraged arise,

       And my sin before me lies,

       Grace infallible I see

       In my God upon the tree!

 

2.       Justice satisfied defends

       My poor soul; and it contends

       I’m from condemnation free,

       Since my God has died for me!

       In the teeth of all my sin,

       Savior, give me grace to lean

       On You and to all confess, --

       “Christ is all my righteousness!”

 

3.       Blood atonement calms my fear,

       There’s no condemnation here.

       Satan’s vanquished, death is dead,

       By Your blood at Calv’ry shed!

       Trusting You, none can be lost.

       (I will glory in Your cross!)

       I’m secure beneath Your blood,

       Christ, my slain and risen God!
