Drawn to the Cross

Genevieve Mary Irons • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 51:2

Verse 1

Drawn to the cross, which you have blessed with healing gifts for souls distressed, to find in you my life, my rest, Christ crucified, I come.

Verse 2

How well you know my griefs and fears, your grace abused, my misspent years; so now to you with contrite tears, Christ crucified, I come.

Verse 3

Wash me and take away each stain; let nothing of my sin remain. For cleansing through your cross and pain, Christ crucified, I come.

Verse 4

To pledge my labor willingly, which shall so sweet a service be that angels well might envy me, Christ crucified, I come.
