Working will not save me;

|
| 1. | 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. |
| 2. | 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. |
| 3. | Waiting will not save me; |
| | Helpless, guilt, lost I lie, |
| | In my ear is mercy's cry; |
| | If I wait I can but die: |
| | Waiting will not save me. |
| 4. | 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. |
| 5. | 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. |
