Nail My Glory

Now, for Christs sake I bear his name,

What was my gain I count my loss;

My former pride I call my shame,

And nail my glory to his cross.

Yes, and I must and will esteem

All things but loss for Jesus' sake:

O may my soul be found in him,

And of his righteousness partake!

Oh the surpassing cost which I could never afford

Oh the surpassing worth of knowing Christ my Lord
What once was gain I count as loss
And nail my glory to the cross.

My righteousness is filthy rags

My finest works are dung

I count them all as rubbish,

these things to which I've clung

All shrivel up like a leaf,

And profit turns to loss

If Jesus Christ shall be my gain

There is no final cost

Bridge:

His glory in me he will convey

Treasure placed in a jar of clay

Oh the surpassing cost which I could never afford

Oh the surpassing worth of knowing Christ my Lord
What once was gain I count as loss
And nail my glory to the cross.
