No more my God, I boast no more.
Of all the duties I have done
I quit the hopes I held before
To trust thy merits of thy Son
Now for the loss I bear His name
What was my gain I count my loss
My former pride I count my shame
And nail my glory to His cross
Yes, and I must, I will esteem
All things for loss but Jesus sake
Oh may my soul be found in Him
And of His righteousness partake, amen, amen
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.
No more my God, I boast no more.
Powerful, Rich.
God's goodness is unbelievable and his steadfast love is more than my mind can begin to comprehend. My flesh walks in pride and the Spirit within me combats with humility; therefore, I cannot boast in anything other than Jesus Christ and His finished work. Christ has won the fight for me. Praise God! Now I can walk in obedience.
