Humbly, As a Sinner

Coming to our savior
coming on our knees
humbly, as a sinner
approaching the rugged cross

Knowing our stain
that his blood washed away
washing his feet with our tears
an expression of our love

Humbly, as a sinner
painfully aware of my guilt
rising because he freed me
from the weight of the law

Lifted from my mourning
the sack cloth removed
going, preaching the good news
to the ends of the world
