My Sins, My Sins, My Savior!

Verse 1

My sins, my sins, my Savior! They take such hold on me, I am not able to look up, save only, Christ, to thee; in thee is all forgiveness, in thee abundant grace, my shadow and my sunshine the brightness of thy face.

Verse 2

My sins, my sins, my Savior! Their guilt I never knew 'til with thee in the desert I near thy passion drew; 'til with thee in the garden I heard thy pleading prayer, and saw the sweat-drops bloody that told thy sorrow there.

Verse 3

Therefore my songs, my Savior, e'en in this time of woe, shall tell of all thy goodness to suff'ring man below; thy goodness and thy favor, whose presence from above rejoice those hearts, my Savior, that live in thee and love.
