Oppressed with sin and woe,
A burdened heart I bear;
Opposed by many a mighty foe,
yet will I not despair.
With this polluted heart,
I dare to come to Thee—
Holy and mighty as Thou art—
For Thou wilt pardon me.
I feel that I am weak,
And prone to every sin;
For Thou who givest to those who seek,
Wilt give me strength within.
I need not fear my foes;
I need not yield to care;
I need not sink beneath my woes,
For Thou wilt answer prayer.
In my Redeemer’s name,
I give myself to Thee;
And all unworthy as I am,
My God will welcome me.
---Alternative verses---
In my Redeemer’s name,
I give myself to Thee;
Through him, unworthy as I am,
My God will cherish me.
