'I Boast No More' ~ Caedmon's Call

No more, my God, I boast no more
of all the duties I have done
I quit the hopes I held before
to trust the merits of thy Son

No more, my God
No more, my God
No more, my God
I boast no more.

Now for the loss, I bear his name
was my cane, I count my loss
my former pride, I call my shame
and nail my glory to his cross

No more, my God
No more, my God
No more, my God
I boast no more.

Yes, and I must, I will esteem
all things but lost for Jesus' sake
Oh, my soul be found in him
and of his righteousness partake
and maybe make

the best of me into my hands
dares not appear before they throne
faith can enter thy demands
by pleading what my Lord has done

No more, my God
No more, my God
No more, my God
I boast no more.

No more, my God
No more, my God
No more, my God
I boast no more.
