Now I make my good confession

by Philip Graham Ryken

1  Now I make my good confession,
Here I take my gospel stand:
Jesus is my Lord and Saviour—
by God's gracious, perfect plan.

2  I was born in sin's dark prison—
Jesus came to set me free:
Through His cross and resurrection,
paid my debt and rescued me.

3  I receive and rest on Jesus—
put my faith in Christ alone,
All my hope is in the mercy God,
through Christ, has made my own.
 
4  Now by grace I humbly promise,
and resolve in Christian love
To serve Christ by serving others,
for the praise of God above.

5  All I own and all my worship,
now belong to Christ my King;
I will love the church—God's people—
trust God's Word in everything.

6  Here's my life—Lord, take and use it,
use my gifts to spread your fame;
I will go where Jesus calls me,
live and die for His great name.
