Nothing of My Own to Claim

lyricist: C. E. Retters, 1918
Composer: Daniel Towner, 1919

Would you know how I was saved

Gained the peace that now I have;

How He saved me from the fall?

Trusting Je­sus

that is all.

Nothing of my own to claim

Trusting on­ly Je­sus’ name;

Making Him my all in all

Trusting Je­sus

that is all.

Poor and help­less soul was I

Sinful and afraid to die;

Jesus heard my stam­mer­ing call

Trusting Je­sus did it all.

Not by works was my re­ward

But be­liev­ing on the Lord;

Saved was I through faith

though small—

Trusting Je­sus

that is all.
