My standing in grace
Tune: Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me….
Feelings come, and feelings go,
unchanged is my standing though,
circumstances fluctuate,
faith in Christ has much more weight,
helpless I to Jesus cling,
and my praise to Him I sing!
What I am in Christ now counts,
I in Him have all my founts,
wretched in myself I am,
perfect am I in God´s Lamb,
nay, His death at Calvary
is my simple creed and plea!
I cannot my flesh improve,
nor I can its sin remove,
so I to His cross will look,
in its work my soul partook,
for His death my death was too,
foolish to the world, yet true!
In our feelings we can´t rest,
we in Christ alone are blessed,
though His dying we do share,
we are joyfully aware
of His resurrection pow´r
by His Spirit hour by hour!
Therefore be in Him content,
what He said, He also meant,
count on what God says is true,
thus He will your soul renew,
o, stand on the gospel bold
with its blessings still untold!
