Oh, the bitter shame and sorrow,
Verse 1
Oh, the bitter shame and sorrow, That a time could ever be, When I let the Savior's pity Plead in vain, and proudly answered, All of self, and none of Thee, All of self, and none of Thee.
Verse 2
Yet He found me; I beheld Him Bleeding on the cursed tree; Heard Him pray, Forgive them, Father, And my wistful heart said faintly, Some of self, and some of Thee, Some of self, and some of Thee,
Verse 3
Day by day His tender mercy, Healing, helping, full and free, Sweet and strong, and ah! So patient, Brought me lower while I whispered, Less of self, and more of Thee, Less of self, and more of Thee.
Verse 4
Higher than the highest heavens, Deeper than the deepest sea, Lord, Thy love at last hath conquered; Grant me now my heart's petition, None of self, and all of Thee, None of self, and all of Thee.
