The Climax

Hopelessness would crush my soul if it were up to me
To hold on tightly to salvation for eternity
More and more I am convinced I’ve nothing good to gain
If not for that dear spotless Lamb who Calvary has slain

Fear would be my constant state if it were not for this:
Near my Savior came to me; my heart He could not miss
For from the starting of this world His grace at me did aim
And with the price of His own blood my soul He had laid claim

Joy is mine for all my sin He granted forgiveness
And in His hand awaits for me a crown of righteousness
What greater thing could I be given when His face I see?
The climax of my life will be to lay it at His feet
