Unstopped, the flow from Jesus’ side

Unstopped, the flow from Jesus’ side,
Whose arms outstretched I see!
On Calvary’s tree, what sacrifice!
He gave His all for me!
Unbarred, my heart, its doors swung wide,
Responds with joy complete,
Surrendered, unreservedly,
Spontaneous jubilee.

Agape love then bids me be
No more for my own gain;
For He who loved and rescued me
Has won my life through pain.
Can one who’s loved not give his all?
Divine love paid the cost.
A life that daily dies, then lives,
Will ne’er be counted loss.

To know the riches of His grace,
Old self I gladly yield;
Emotion, mind, and will I place
Within His hands, unsealed.
A life surrendered wholly, grows,
His image thus to shine;
I sense His will and turn aside
From what is not divine.

Through consecration’s narrow gate
I walk and yield each choice;
In daily steps, both small and great,
I hear my spirit’s voice.
Each time His will defeats my own,
A step ahead is won—
Each vict’ry o’er my self-bound soul
Leads ever to the Son.
