I Trust Not In Me

I\'m sorry - 

I am not love - nor Love, as a personal being

 

I cannot save myself

But neither mope I in self-pity nor as a parasite

That just hangs on, or needs a \'crutch\' through life

 

My faith is the ground I stand on

Or rather a Person - Christ the Son of God

 

But we need spiritual understanding.....

Why should one need to die for me?

Why should one bother about me?

 

\'Tis for my sins - Christ took them all

\'See all your sins on Jesus laid\' , as a hymn says

 

I\'ve had it; all is lost - without Him

Words like \'Salvation\', \'Redemption\', etc

All having similar meanings

 

Yes, I\'m sorry - the answer is not in me

I cannot make it alone

Don\'t look to me for salvation - not me, myself

I cannot help you of myself

 

But point you to Christ - as in a stanza recently:

I worthy of God\'s judgement sure

But now for evermore

He has my sins on Jesus laid

The eternal price [is] paid
