Verse 1 There's nothing that my hands can do To save my guilty soul I cannot cleanse my filthy stains Or make my spirit whole For nothing but the blood of Christ Can all my sins erase I dare not claim my righteousness But hide within His grace 'Tis Christ who saved me from the depths God's pardon I've received I'm washed within His precious blood My heart is sprinkled clean Verse 2 I'll praise the God of holiness Of justice, truth, and might Who guides me by His mighty hand To walk within His light While Satan weaves his shallow lies God speaks to me in love Reminding me His only Son Has bought me with His blood And Christ dispels my every doubt Through Him I am redeemed I love because He loved me first I live because He lives Verse 3 My life is but a fleeting sigh A tear within the sea But You are everlasting, Lord And you've predestined me To leave this fading world behind Not fearing d**h will come For then I'll look on Jesus Christ And to His arms I'll run And when I see Him face to face What glory that will be To look upon my Savior's scars And know they were for me
