D G
Not what my hands have done
Em7 E7 A
Can save my guilty soul;
D A Bm
Not what my toiling flesh has borne
D/A F#m A D
Can make my spirit whole.
G D
Not what I feel or do
Bm F#m
Can give me peace with God;
D F#m G B
Not all my prayers and sighs and tears
D/A A D
Can bear my awful load.
D G
Thy work alone, O Christ,
Em7 E7 A
Can ease this weight of sin;
D A Bm
Thy blood alone, O Lamb of God,
D/A F#m A D
Can give me peace within.
G D
Thy love to me, O God,
Bm F#m
Not mine, O Lord to thee,
D F#m G B
Can rid me of this dark unrest
D/A A D
And set my spirit free.
D G
Thy grace alone, O God,
Em7 E7 A
To me can pardon speak;
D A Bm
Thy pow'r alone, O Son of God,
D/A F#m A D
Can this sore bondage break.
G D
No other work, save thine,
Bm F#m
No other blood will do;
D F#m G B
No strength, save that which is divine,
D/A A D
Can bear me safely through.
D G
I bless the Christ of God;
Em7 E7 A
I rest on love divine;
D A Bm
And with unfalt'ring lip and heart
D/A F#m A D
I call this Saviour mine.
G D
This cross dispels each doubt;
Bm F#m
I bury in his tomb
D F#m G B
Each thought of unbelief and fear,
D/A A D
Each ling'ring shade of gloom.
D G
I praise the God of grace;
Em7 E7 A
I trust his truth and might;
D A Bm
He calls me his, I call him mine,
D/A F#m A D
My God, my joy, my light.
G D
'Tis he who saveth me,
Bm F#m
And freely pardon gives;
D F#m G B
I love because he loveth me,
D/A A D
I live because he lives.
G D
(AMEN)
