Let Me

LET ME...

Look, my soul to Calvary,
Look to Him who died.
Hear, my heart, the anguish
In His voice each time He cried.

Then let me look through Jesus' eyes
Down from that cruel cross,
And see, not the hatred in their eyes,
But poor souls that are lost!

And let me hear, as with His ears,
Not cruel mocking cries,
But souls in screaming terror,
As in hell, they lift their eyes.

With Him, let me be crucified;
Let His desire be mine;
Let His compassion fill my heart;
To Him let me resign.

I ask not to share the pain of flesh,
(Coward that I be)
But desire, and heart, and mind of Christ,
Let this be part of me.

And then, if pain and suffering
For Christ should be my lot,
Let me with grace and courage,
Accept it all and not....

Revile and curse poor sinful souls,
But let me, like Jesus, pray,
"Father, please forgive them!"
Let me be like Him today!
