LORD, LOOK ON MY GUILTY SOUL
Don Fortner
Lord, look not on my guilty soul,
I am a man of sin,
In thought, in word, in heart, in deed,
I'm nothing else but sin:
My best desires are only dregs
Of my polluted heart;
My righteous deeds are filthy rags,
Spun from my sinful heart.
Yet, if You will I know You can
My guilt and sin erase,
Through Jesus' blood and righteousness,
And save me by Your grace:
Oh, God be merciful to me,
A guilty wretch undone,
Forgive my sin and cleanse my heart
Through Jesus Christ Your Son.
Lord, look on Christ the Substitute,
Who one for sinners died;
I have no hope of grace and life,
But Jesus crucified-
Lord Jesus, I now place my soul
Into Your nail-pierced hands;
Lord, plead for me and hold me fast
In Your almighty hands.
