IRRESISTIBLE GRACE
Don Fortner
(Tune:
I Heard The Voice Of Jesus Say
#225 CMD)
Madly
in sin my course I ran,
Despising
all that's good,
My
sinful heart, swelling with pride,
All
enmity to God!
My
guilty conscience pricked my heart
And
slight impressions made;
The law
of God, with threats of hell,
Filled
me with fear and dread.
Still I
pursued my lusts with zeal;
(Satan
and sin are strong!)
With
hardened heart and stubborn will,
To hell
I plodded on!
When
first I heard the gospel's call
Inviting
me to Christ,
I yet
despised the Son of God!
I would
not bow to Christ!
But God
the Spirit came with grace
That I
could not resist;
He gave
me life! He gave me faith!
He made
me bow to Christ!
Blest is the man chosen by God
And
forced by sov'reign grace
To come
to Christ with willing heart
And humbly seek His grace!
