Characteristics of a 'Godly Life'

Getting in touch with us

Jesus for Life

Some poems about our state before God 

Since therefore, I can hardly bear

What in myself I see,

How vile and black must I appear,

Most holy God, to Thee !

But since my Saviour stands between,

In garments dyed in blood,

‘Tis He, instead of me, is seen,

When I approach to God.

[John Newton (1725-1807) 

Olney Hymns Book III, No. 41.]

Nothing in my hand I bring,

simply to Thy cross I cling;

naked, come to Thee for dress;

helpless, look to Thee for grace;

foul, I to the fountain fly;

wash me, Saviour, or I die.

[Augustus Montague Toplady 

1740-78 from “Rock of Ages”]

Just as I am, without one plea

But that thy blood was shed for me,

And that thou bidst me come to thee,

O Lamb of God, I come.

[Charlotte Elliott (1789-1871)]
