Songs of Free Grace ‎#34

34. The Fullness of Jesus

1 My sins were laid on Jesus,
The spotless Lamb of God;
He bears them all, and frees, us
From the accursed load.
I bring my guilt to Jesus,
To wash my crimson stains
White in His blood most precious,
Till not a spot remains.

Chorus:
O Jesus, dear Jesus,
The sinner's only plea;
O Jesus, dear Jesus,
My soul thirsts for thee.

2 I tell my wants to Jesus,
All fullness dwells in him;
He healeth my diseases,
He doth my soul redeem.
I rest my soul on Jesus,
This weary soul of mine;
His loving arm embraces,
I on his breast recline. [Chorus]

3 I long to be like Jesus,
Meek, loving, lowly, mild;
I long to be like Jesus,
The Father's holy child.
I long to be with Jesus,
Amid the heavenly throng;
To sing with saints his praises,
To learn the angels' song. [Chorus]
