Not me


 Not me. I can do nothing without Christ. The sorrow and evil and fear that abounds in this country and around the world--there's only one answer. And I will proclaim it!
 
Not What My Hands Have Done
Words: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889
Music: George Walter Martin, 1828-1881

Not what my hands have done can save my guilty soul;
Not what my toiling flesh has borne can make my spirit whole.
Not what I feel or do can give me peace with God;
Not all my prayers and sighs and tears can bear my awful load.

Chorus
 Your voice alone, O Lord, can speak to me of grace;
Your power alone, O Son of God, can all my sin erase.
No other work but Yours, no other blood will do;
No strength but that which is divine can bear me safely through.

Thy work alone, O Christ, Can ease this weight of sin
Thy blood alone O Lamb of God, Can give me peace within.
Thy love to me O God, Not mine, O Lord, to Thee
Can rid me of This dark unrest, And set my spirit free!

Thy grace along, O God, To me can pardon speak;
Thy power alone O Son of God, Can this sore bondage break.
No other work, save Thine, No other blood will do,
No strength save that, Which is divine,
Can bear me safely through.

I bless the Christ of God; I rest on love divine;
And with unfaltering lip and heart, I call this Savior mine.
His cross dispels each doubt, I bury in His tomb
My unbelief, And all my fear, Each lingering shade of gloom.

I praise the Christ of God; I rest on love divine;
And with unfaltering lip and heart I call this Savior mine.
My Lord has saved my life and freely pardon gives;
I love because He first loved me, I live because He lives.

Your voice alone, O Lord, can speak to me of grace;
Your power alone, O Lord, does all my sin erase.
No other work, but Yours no other blood will do!
No other strength but Your great power can bear me safely through.
