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 of sight and tears
Can bear my heavy load
Your word alone, o christ
Can ease this weight of sin
Your blood alone, o lamb of God
Can give me peace within
Your love to me, o God
Not mine, o lord, to me
Can rid me of this dark unrest
And set my spirit free
Your grace alone, o God
To me can pardon speak
Your power alone, o son of God
Can this old bondage break
I rest the christ of God
I rest on life divine
And without faltering lips and heart
I call this saviour mine
And without faltering lips and heart
I call this saviour mine
