Representative Text

1 So weary am I, but the Lord can give rest;
So needy, but coming to Him I am blest;
I’m blind, but the Saviour can give to me light;
By guilt I am stained, but He maketh me white.

Refrain:
Yes! I’m a poor sinner and nothing at all,
But Jesus my Saviour is my All in all,
Yes! I’m a poor sinner and nothing at all,
But Jesus my Saviour is my All in all.

2 I’m sinful, but He can my sin put away;
In debt, but my debts He most freely doth pay;
So thirsty my soul, but He gives me to drink;
So poor, yet He grants me e’en more than I think. [Refrain]

3 I’m restless and troubled—He gives me His peace;
Tho’ cold is my heart, yet His love will ne’er cease;
I’m foolish, He calls me to learn at His feet,
I’m lonely, He gives me His fellowship sweet. [Refrain]

4 Though naught I deserve, yet I’m saved by His grace,
Tho’ hopeless and helpless He took up my case,
I’m lost without Him, but my Saviour is He;
I’m nothing at all but He’s all things to me. [Refrain]
