Working will not save me

Working will not save me;

Purest deeds that I can do

Holiest thoughts and feelings too

Cannot form my soul anew;

Working will not save me.

Jesus wept and died for me;

Jesus suffered on the tree;

Jesus waits to make me free

He alone can save me.

Weeping will not save me;

Though my face were bathed in tears

That could not allay my fears

Could not wash the sins of years;

Weeping will not save me.

Waiting will not save me;

Helpless

guilty

lost I lie

In my ear is mercy’s cry;

If I wait I can but die:

Waiting will not save me.

Praying will not save me;

All the prayers that I could say

Could not wash my sins away

All I owe could never pay:

Praying will not save me.

Faith in Christ will save me;

Let me trust Thy gracious Son

Trust the work that He has done

To His arms

Lord

help me run;

Faith in Christ will save me.
