His Best     (April 3, 2012)

By Allan Thomasson

I tried my best, but couldn’t make it.

Stop my sinning? No success.
Day by day, just couldn’t take it
To the limit at my best.

Then I thought I’d always never

Be the one I want to be.
Then a voice came gently speaking,
‘Take your cross, and follow Me.’

So I came to Jesus, weeping,

For the love that I could feel.
Gave to Him my heart, my being;
Now I’ve found that love that’s real!

For I found that even though I

Could not ever pass the test,
There was One Who stepped in for me,
For my Savior gave His Best.

Now I’m free from sin and worry,

For my Savior took me in.
Took my place in death at Calvary,
Set me free from all my sin.

If your heart is weak and weary,

Struggling for that peace within,
Simply give your heart to Jesus
For He died for all our sin.

You, who come to Him in earnest,

And believe upon His name,
He’ll forgive you, and receive you,
Gave His best to take your blame.

‘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; I come.

Just as I am, and waiting not

To rid my soul of one dark blot

To Him Whose blood can cleanse each spot,

O Lamb of God I come, I come.'
