PITY A SINNER, LORD

Don Fortner

(Tune: Stand Up and Bless the Lord #33 SM)

Pity a sinner, Lord,

Who would believe Your Word,

But must confess, with shame and grief,

My wretched unbelief!

Lord, I read there's yet room,

So to Your house I come;

Among Your children can there be

Room for a wretch like me?

The fountain open stands

To wash at Your command,

I plunge into the cleansing stream,

Wash me and make me clean.

Did You for sinners bleed?

I'm a sinner indeed!

Lord, I believe! Your grace is free!

By Your free grace save me!
