“And HE said to them all, If any man come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.” Luke 9: 23-24
The more I look unto THEE,
the more I see too much of me.
Oh, help me this life crucify
remove from my midst me, myself, and I
The more I seek THY face,
The more I need thy saving grace;
And mercy becomes my best friend
in longsuffering I’ve come to depend
The harder I pant after THEE,
the more my corruption I see.
The closer I climb up to see,
The clearer my depravity.
And so to my Savior I cling!
For I know in me dwells no good thing;
I must trust in the pure HOLY LAMB,
to accept me just as I am.
HIS righteousness given to me,
from the world, sin and self to be free.
Lord, help me to die today,
every passion of self I must slay!
My heart is sorely oppressed,
the foe is peculiarly dressed.
On a hunger within he does prey,
from my JESUS to draw me away.
But I cleave even more to THY cross;
I am willing to suffer the loss.
Please fill me so full of THY grace,
That the enemy will not find a place.
LORD, you know I am looking to THEE,
Help me to crucify me!
That this vessel THY glory would shine,
and I would be wholly THINE!

I love you my dear Jesus, sweet Savior!
