I Boast No More

Whatever happened to Gospel-laden songs like these? What has become of our "worship"?

I Boast No More

Isaac Watts

No more, my God, I boast no more

Of all the duties I have done;
I quit the hopes I held before,
To trust the merits of thy Son.

Now, for the love I bear his name,
What was my gain I count my loss;
My former pride I call my shame,
And nail my glory to his cross.

Yes, and I must and will esteem
All things but loss for Jesus' sake:
O may my soul be found in him,
And of his righteousness partake!

The best obedience of my hands
Dares not appear before thy throne;
But faith can answer thy demands
By pleading what my Lord has done.

Surefire Way to Build Your Church...

And we wonder why things are the way they are...
