The Gospel Chorus ‎#10

10. Into His Image

1 Into His image to grow
Ever my purpose shall be,
Who from the courts of the sky
Came as a ransom for me;
Like as a servant He came,
Bearing my guilt and my shame;
Bearing my burden of woe;
Loving and suffering so!

Loving and suffering so,
Loving and suffering so!
Bearing my burden of woe,
Loving and suffering so.

2 Into His image to grow,
Ever resembling Him more,
As in His footsteps I tread;
Seeking the heavenly shore;
Yea, I will earnestly plead,
Plead to be like Him indeed,
Who, upon Calvary’s tree,
Purchased salvation for me.

Purchased salvation for me,
Purchased salvation for me,
Who, upon Calvary’s tree,
Purchased salvation for me.

3 Into His image to grow,
Out of the likeness of sin;
Trusting, thro’ merits of His,
Glory eternal to win;
Perfect in faith and in love,
Meet for His kingdom above;
This the dear wish of my soul,
Now to be perfectly whole.

Perfect in faith and in love,
Meet for His kingdom above;
This the dear wish of my soul,
Now to be perfectly whole.
