Poor Sinner, Dejected With Fear

Today, between the terror and sorrow of Good Friday, and the joy and the excitement of Easter, my mind has been continually drifting back to the song Poor Sinner, Dejected with Fear by Indelible Grace.  It is from their album, Pilgrim Days, and highlights the confidence we can have in taking our brokenness to the One who was broken for us.

Click on the MP3 player below to listen to the song, following along with the lyrics, also printed below.



1. Poor sinner, dejected with fear,
Unbosom thy mind to the Lamb;
No wrath on His brow He does wear,
Nor will He poor mourners condemn;
His arm of omnipotent grace
Is able and willing to save;
A sweet and a permanent peace
He’ll freely and faithfully give.

2. Come just as thou art, with thy woe,
Fall down at the feet of the Lamb;
He will not, He cannot say, “Go”,
But surely will take out thy stain
A fountain is opened for sin,
And thousands its virtues have proved
He’ll take thee, and plunge thee therein,
And wash thee from filth in His blood.

3. The soul that on Jesus relies,
He’ll never, no never deceive;
He freely and faithfully gives
More blessings than we can conceive;
Yea, down to old age He will keep,
Nor will He forsake us at last;
He knows and is known by His sheep;
They’re His, and He will hold them fast.
