Not What My Hands Have Done | Christian Song Lyrics | Yeshu Geets

 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

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 3

Thy grace alone, O God,

To me can pardon speak;

Thy power alone, O Son of God,

Can this sore bondage break.

No other work, save Thine,

No other blood will do;

No strength, save that which is divine,

Can bear me safely through

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 lingering shade of gloom.

Verse 5

I praise the God of grace;

I trust His truth and might;

He calls me His, I call Him mine,

My God, my joy, my light.

'Tis He who saveth me,

And freely pardon gives;

I love because He loveth me,

I live because He lives.
