Jesus is my only Glory!

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,My richest gain I count but loss,And pour contempt on all my pride.
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,Save in the death of Christ my God!
All the vain things that charm me most,I sacrifice them to His blood.
See from His head, His hands, His feet,Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
His dying crimson, like a robe,Spreads o’er His body on the tree;Then I am dead to all the globe,And all the globe is dead to me.
Were the whole realm of nature mine,That were a present far too small;Love so amazing, so divine,Demands my soul, my life, my all.
[Added by the compilers of Hymns An­cient and Mo­dern]
To Christ, who won for sinners grace By bitter grief and anguish sore,Be praise from all the ransomed race Forever and forevermore.

Galatians 6:14 (King James Version)
14But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

I read this verse this morning and it made me think of this song. This verse makes me think of all the pride that I have and how I try to take credit for things in my life, when I know that it has nothing to do with me but it is all God. I have been thinking alot about how I complain about the most trivial things but God did not complain when he sent Jesus to die on the Cross for my sins. Please pray that I will live Jesus in all that I do and that I will be dead to the things of the world. There are many times that I let the world in and it hinders my walk with Him. I love you all! Happy Birthday Ms. Joan, Ms. Natalie, and Ms. Crump!
