After you have prayed this prayer, tell a mature Christain about it and ask for some help on how to grow as a Christian. If youhave any questions about becoming a Christian that are not answered above, seek answers from the Bible and a mature Christian. Attend a Bible-believing and teaching church regularly.
By Isaac Watts
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ, my God;
All the vain things that charm me most--
I sacrfice them to His blood.
See, from his head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down;
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small:
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
