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 !
Jesus wept and died for me ; Jesus suffered on the tree ; Jesus waits to make me free : He alone can save me !
2. 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 !
3. Waiting will not save me ! Helpless, guilty, lost, I lie ; In my ear is Mercy's cry ; If I wait I can but die : Waiting will not save me !
4. Faith in Christ will save me ! Let me trust Thy weeping Son, Trust the work that He has done ; To His arms, Lord, help me run : Faith in Christ will save me !
