The Gospel: Day 23

Posted by Jess

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.

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 alone, 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.

“so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭9:28‬ ‭ESV‬‬


Until next time,
