It is good to be here by John Newton
- Let me dwell on Golgotha,
- Weep and love my life away!
- While I see Him on the tree
- Weep and bleed, and die for me!
- That dear blood, for sinners spilt,
- Shows my sin in all its guilt:
- Ah, my soul, He bore thy load,
- Thou hast slain the Lamb of God.
- Hark! His dying words; “Forgive,
- Father, let the sinner live;
- Sinner, wipe thy tears away,
- I thy ransom freely pay.”
- While I hear this grace revealed,
- And obtain a pardon sealed;
- All my lost affections move,
- Wakened by the force of love.
- Farewell world, thy gold is dross,
- Now I see the bleeding cross;
- Jesus died to set me free
- From the law, and sin, and thee!
- He has dearly bought my soul
- Lord, accept, and claim the whole!
- To Thy will I all resign,
- Now, no more my own, but Thine.
