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.
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!
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.
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
My unbelief, And all my fear, Each lingering shade of gloom.
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!
There are days where God gives me a song to just make it through the day, maybe even the week or the month. This is the one for today and will be repeated again and again. This song is on an album of an old friend of mine who I worked with at JH Ranch. I heard it for the first time this past weekend. It is good to remember that not what my hands have done can save my guilty soul! Praise the Father for that... for His unending love and grace.
You should listen to it... His name is Aaron Keyes... you can get if off itunes. Album is called 'Not What My Hands Have Done.'
