I was laden down with sin

193
				7.7.11.D

1	I was laden down with sin, 
	Full of wickedness within, 
	In the darkness of despair, regret and loss; 
	When I heard a gentle voice 
	And it made my heart rejoice: 
	“Come find rest, thy heavy laden, at the cross.” 

		At the cross, at the cross, 
		There my sins were all forgiven at the cross 
		There my burdens rolled away 
		There my night was turned to day 
		There I met my blessed Saviour at the cross 

2	Now each day I go to Him 
	To receive new life within 
	And be filled with grace and power at the cross; 
	So that when temptations come, 
	All my victories may be won 
	On my knees in humble prayer at the cross 

3	When the way seems long and drear, 
	Sore depressed and full of fear, 
	I just stand and gaze in wonder at the cross; 
	When I see His pain and woe, 
	All for love of me I know, 
	Joy and strength become my portion at the cross. 

4	Weary burdened soul today 
	Come to Jesus’ side to stay 
	In His blood He’ll wash your sin stains all away, 
	You will find your life abound 
	When in brokenness you’re found 
	Owning oneness with your Saviour at the cross
