“Prepare Your Heart,
O Sinners”
Prepare
your heart, O sinners, the Lamb of God is here.
Prepare
your soul, transgressors, for Christ is coming near.
He
comes to bring salvation, to ev’ry tribe and nation
Turn
from your sinful ways, repent sin's today.
O
see the King of Glory, Who came from heav’n on high.
With
love that's so amazing, no one need ask Him “Why
Would
He give up His body, by sacrifice so bloody?”
For
sinners such as I You came, Oh Lamb, to die.
The
Baptist’s voice is crying, “Repent and turn your ways!”
Though
ruined by sin’s destruction, receive God’s grace today.
Renew,
repent, receive Him, with grace-cleansed hearts receive Him
Who
is the great “I Am,” God’s holy, precious Lamb.
So
now, O Lamb, we worship, we fall before Your cross
All
merits, works and trophies, we now consider loss.
O
Lord, may nothing sever, and may our faith fail never!
O
Lord, we turn to You.
Send
grace and love anew.
