Nothing, either great or small,
Nothing, sinner, no!
Jesus did it! He did it All:
Long, long ago.
When Jesus from God's lofty throne
Stoop'd to do and die,
Everything was fully done:
Hearken to His cry: --
"It is Finished!"
Yes, indeed, Finished every jot:
Sinner, this is all you need,
Tell me, is it not?
Weary, working, plodding one,
Why toil you so?
Cease your doing; all was done,
Long, long ago.
Till to Jesus' work you cling
By a simple faith,
"Doing" is a deadly thing,
"Doing" ends in death.
Cast your deadly "doing" down,
Down at Jesus' feet:
Stand in Him, in Him alone,
Gloriously complete!
-James Procter, 1858.

Substitution: Christ suffered instead of me. Life is Short-Eternity is Forever-Be Wise-Plan Ahead. The Creator became a Jewish man-Jesus of Nazareth-He loved you to death-He from the dead-Romans 5:9-Emmanuel's Precious Blood-The Cross Alone-Helpless Childlike Dependence-Through The Blood Of His Cross-Quicken Thou Me-The Spirit of God Moved-Alive Unto God-Thankful for His Sparing Mercies-It is Finished-Faith in His Blood-Worthy Is The Lamb-Even So, Come, Lord Jesus!

About Me
- Call-Upon-Jesus
- United States
- Saved Freely by the Precious Blood of the Crucified Creator. Life is Short, Death is Sure, Sin the Curse, Christ the Cure. I'm a poor sinner and *nothing* at all, but Jesus Christ is my All in All. Christ Jesus First, me last. Only one life, and it will soon be past, and only what's done for Christ will last. Christ Jesus is Everything, I am nothing; End of Story.
