  Interludes & Choruses based on Public Domain song by Isaac Watts and Ralph Hudson, CCLI #29499

Song Story:  THE  MUSIC:   
Written in moments at the sanctuary piano during prayer time.  Another gift from God... because I don't know why I suddenly switched an old hymn to minor key, but it's pretty cool I think.  Also a gift from God because I was praying for a “fast” song to take advantage of an already scheduled studio time.... and God provided.

    I changed the lyrics somewhat from the old hymn only because I wanted this to be a prayer by anyone --- including those who haven't quite  “seen the light”  as the original lyrics say.

For God assuredly loves them JUST as much..... as He did for all of us. First John 4:10,
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us  and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.   To pay the cost of our sins that we never can do... by His Grace.
   
Dedicated to Protector LORD God, 20 March 2013

LYRICS
1
I throw myself upon Your Mercy, LORD:  Hear my prayers. I'm
so amazed the God who made all things  hears my prayers!   I
    yearn to live like Jesus said, but YET AGAIN, I've failed.


Interlude 1

Alas, I know my Savior bled and suffered horribly  to
die upon the bloody cross to save a wretch like me:
Chorus
At the cross, at the Cross, Jesus chose to give His Life,
like God tells me in Hebrews 12,   1 through 3.   It was
there He saved ALL who repent of their sins, and choose
to admit He's LORD and God of all --- died for ALL.


2
I bow myself beneath Your Cross,  weeping for my sins.  I'm
weeping that I've hurt You LORD, despite  Your loving.   

I  yearn to live like Jesus said, but YET AGAIN, I've failed.

Interlude 2
Alas, I know I hurt my God with all the sins I do.  I
pray Your Help, as You promised so I won't hurt You, LORD.


Chorus
At the cross, at the Cross, Jesus chose to give His Life,
like God tells me in Hebrews 12,   1 through 3.   It was
there He saved ALL who repent of their sins, and choose
to admit He's LORD and God of all --- died for ALL.

3
I thank you Jesus, at Your Cross,  weeping in such joy,  
astonished by Your love for me,  even long before   I'd
    yearn to live like Jesus said, but First John 4: 10 -- You
        loved  me first!


Interlude 2
Alas, I know I know that people see me
call myself “Christian”  and
learn to doubt Your Bible Word if I sin and complain.


Chorus
At the cross, at the Cross, Jesus chose to give His Life,
like God tells me in Hebrews 12,   1 through 3.   It was
there He saved ALL who repent of their sins, and choose
to admit He's LORD and God of all --- died for ALL.

God's SUPPORTING WORDS:
... let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares [us], and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of [our] faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.  For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.  You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.”  Hebrews 12: 1b - 3  New King James Version
