"Nothing in Me"

By Flora E. Warren

"The prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in Me." John 14:30.

The prince of this world came to Jesus, The Man of all sorrow and grief, And sought, with pierced gaze, to find something To give his vile heart some relief; He sought in the life of the Master, And found naught that sin could endure; He followed those steps to entrap Him, But all of Christ's doings were pure.

The prince of this world came to Jesus, And day after day did he come, Close watching His words and His actions, E'er hoping perchance to find some Slight cause for His great condemnation— Some selfishness lurking within; The prince of this world came to Jesus, And found not a shadow of sin!

The prince of this world cometh daily To all who profess Jesus' name, And watcheth each soul, to find something, Compared with his blackness the same. O, joyful the souls at his coming Can say, "He has nothing in me"! Thrice glad, they will hear Jesus saying, "Come, child, for My likeness I see."
