lyrics
Not what these hands have done can save this guilty soul
Not what this 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 nor sighs nor tears can ease my awful load
Thy work alone, my Savior, 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
I praise the God of grace, I trust His love and might
He calls me His, I call Him mine; my God, my joy, my light!
Thy work alone, my Savior, can ease this weight of sin
Thy blood alone O Lamb of God, can give me peace within
