KPRI 79 Not What My Hands Have Done

 

Verse 1

Not what my hands have done, can save my guilty soul;

Not what my toiling flesh has borne can make my spirit whole;

Not what I feel or do can give me peace with God;

Not all my prayers and sighs and tears can bear my awful load.

 

Verse 2

Your voice alone, O Lord, can speak to me of grace;

Your power alone, O Son of God, can all my sin erase;

No other work but Yours, no other blood will do;

No strength but that which is divine can bear me safely through.

 

Verse 3

Thy work alone, O Christ, can ease this weight of sin;

Thy blood alone, O Lamb of God, can give me peace within;

Thy love to me, O God, not mine, O Lord, to Thee,

Can rid me of this dark unrest, And set my spirit free.

 

Verse 4

I bless the Christ of God; I rest on love divine;

And with unfaltering lip and heart I call this Savior mine;

His cross dispels each doubt; I bury in His tomb;

Each thought of unbelief and fear, each ling’ring shade of gloom.

 

Verse 5

I praise the Christ of God; I rest on love divine;

And with unfaltering lip and heart I call this Savior mine;

My Lord has saved my life and freely pardon gives;

I love because He first loved me, I live because He lives.
