Evangelistic Songs ‎#5

5. Not What These Hands Have Done

1 Not what these hands have done
Can save this guilty soul;
Not what this toiling flesh has borne
Can make my spirit whole.

Refrain:
Thy blood alone, Lord Jesus,
Can cleanse my soul from sin;
Thy Word alone, O Lamb of God,
Can give me peace within!

2 Not what I feel or do
Can give me peace with God;
Not all my prayers, and sighs and tears
Can ease sin’s awful load. [Refrain]

3 Thy love to me alone—,
Not mine, O Lord to Thee—
Can rid the heart of dark unrest,
And set the spirit free. [Refrain]

4 No other work save Thine—
Nought save Thy blood—will do;
No strength, save that which is divine,
Can bear me safely through. [Refrain]
