Not Worthy

H. W. Baker (1875) • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 8:8

Verse 1

I am not worthy, Holy Lord, that thou shouldst come to me; speak but the word; one gracious word can set the sinner free.

Verse 2

I am not worthy; cold and bare the lodging of my soul; how canst thou deign to enter there? Lord, speak, and make me whole.

Verse 3

I am not worthy; yet, my God, how can I say thee nay; thee, who didst give thy flesh and blood my ransom price to pay?

Verse 4

O come! in this sweet morning hour feed me with food divine; and fill with all thy love and power this wavering heart of mine.
