Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to the cross I cling; naked, come to thee for dress; helpless, look to thee for grace; foul, I to the fountain fly; wash me, Savior, or I die.
Being a depraved sinner, what can I do to impress God? What can I offer or bring to the Sovereign that would cause Him to be mindful of me?
Can I do a work of righteousness that would grip His attention? No, I am dead in trespasses and sin and I can do nothing!
Am I to offer Him my heart? No, my heart is “deceitful above all things and desperately wicked.” (Jeremiah 17: 9)
If He would desire to look into the deep recesses of my mind would He find anything worthy of His mercy? No, nothing is there but carnality and enmity.
The Old hymn writer, Augustus Toplady concerning chosen and saved sinners rightfully penned, “In my hand no price I bring.” Why? Because we are nothing, we have nothing, and we can do nothing that would cause God to be merciful to us.
So what is a sinner to do?
SIMPLY CLING to the Christ of the cross.
Everything God required of His people Christ provided for them.
Truly He is the Rock of Ages.
