some songs I’ve written

When all my ways are filled with joy

And all the best of life

When everything is bright and fair

My only hope is Christ

When I have seen the man I am

Who cannot do what’s right

When I have known my depth of sin

My only hope is Christ

When all the world grows dark and grim

And filled with war and strife

When sin should strike my body sore

My only hope is Christ

When all the world stands against God

And says that dark is light

And seeks to silence His children

My only hope is Christ

When all my life has run its course

And I lie down to die

And when I stand before my Judge

My only hope is Christ

I have

Nothing good to offer

Nothing I can give You

Of worth

I have

Nothing good inside me

Nothing I can hope You’ll

Accept

You are

The One who seeks and saves us

The One who finds the sheep who

Wandered

You are

The Lamb of God who came to

Take away the sins of

The world

I need

You to come and find me

You to come and wash me

From sins

I need

You to come redeem me

You to come and save me

From Hell

Jesus is a great Savior

For a sinner great as I

For someone who’s broken God’s laws

Broken them, oh, countless times

But in mercy and divine love

God has sent His only Son

Christ our Lord, the Lamb of God who

Takes away the sins of men

Jesus is a great Savior

For a world of sinners great

For a world of people who have

Reviled God with all their hate

For the godless Jesus suffered

For His enemies He died

That to sinners who have earned death

He may give eternal life

God will not forsake His children

He will not reject His own

Though the world may cause them troubles

They are still safe in His hand

Though the wicked seem to prosper

It is only for a time

For the wealth they gain through evil

Will not prosper when they die

When it goes well with the righteous

Then the land is blessed with good

But by the lies of the wicked

Is the city over thrown

Oh, that men would love righteousness

And be blameless in their ways

Oh, that we would turn and repent

Of our lusts and arrogance

But as men once rejected Christ

Because their deeds were evil

So now men still do wickedness

For their hearts are evil filled

Now as farmers reap a harvest

From the seeds that they have sown

So in our sins we have filled the

World with disease, pain, and woe

In these days men only grow worse

For they love lies more than truth

Come, Lord Jesus, all the saints

Await and long and yearn for You
