O Lord My Soul Convicted

Words and music by James Maxwell · 1759

Key of C · 100 BPM · 4/4 · Atonement,Conscience,Contrition · Mt 22:34-46

Verse 1

O Lord, my soul convicted stands Of
breaking all Thy ten commands: And on me justly
might'st Thou pour Thy wrath in one eternal show'r.

Verse 2

But thanks to God, its loud alarms Have
warn'd me of approaching harms; And now, O Lord, my
wants I see, Lost and undone, I come to Thee.

Verse 3

I know my fig leaf righteousness Can
ne'er Thy broken law redress; Yet in the gospel
plan I see, There's hope of pardon e'en for me.

Verse 4

There, I behold with wonder, Lord! That
Christ hath to Thy law restor'd Those honors on th'atoning
toning day, Which guilty sinners took away.

Verse 5

Amazing wisdom, pow'r and love, Display'd
play'd to rebels from above! Do Thou, O Lord, my
faith increase To love and trust Thy plan of grace.
