D G
Not what my hands have done
Em7/G E7/G# A
Can save my guilty soul;
D A/C# Bm Dm7/A G
Not what my toiling flesh has borne
E7/G# D/A D7/A A D
Can make my spi - rit whole.
G G/B D
Not what I feel or do
Bm F#m
Can give me peace with God;
A/E D F#7#5 F#7 Gdim7 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/G E7/G# A
Can ease this weight of sin;
D A/C# Bm Dm7/A G
Thy blood alone, O Lamb of God,
E7/G# D/A D7/A A D
Can give me peace within.
G G/B D
Thy love to me, O God,
Bm F#m
Not mine, O Lord to thee,
A/E D F#7#5 F#7 Gdim7 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/G E7/G# A
To me can pardon speak;
D A/C# Bm Dm7/A G
Thy pow'r alone, O Son of God,
E7/G# D/A D7/A A D
Can this sore bondage break.
G G/B D
No other work, save thine,
Bm F#m
No other blood will do;
A/E D F#7#5 F#7 Gdim7 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/G E7/G# A
I rest on love divine;
D A/C# Bm Dm7/A G
And with unfalt'ring lip and heart
E7/G# D/A D7/A A D
I call this Sa - viour mine.
G G/B D
This cross dispels each doubt;
Bm F#m
I bury in his tomb
A/E D F#7#5 F#7 Gdim7 G B
Each thought of un - be - lief and fear,
D/A A D
Each ling'ring shade of gloom.
D G
I praise the God of grace;
Em7/G E7/G# A
I trust his truth and might;
D A/C# Bm Dm7/A G
He calls me his, I call him mine,
E7/G# D/A D7/A A D
My God, my joy, my light.
G G/B D
'Tis he who saveth me,
Bm F#m
And freely pardon gives;
A/E D F#7#5 F#7 Gdim7 G B
I love because he lov - eth me,
D/A A D
I live because he lives.
G D
(AMEN)
