I LAY MY SINS ON JESUS

I lay my sins 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.

I lay my wants on Jesus,

All fullness dwells in Him:

He heals all my diseases,

He doth my soul redeem.

I lay my griefs on Jesus,

My burdens and my cares;

He from them all releases;

He all my sorrows shares.

I rest my soul on Jesus,

This weary soul of mine;

His right hand me embraces,

I on His breast recline.

I love the name of Jesus,

Immanuel, Christ, the Lord:

Like fragrance on the breezes,

His name abroad is poured.

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.
