No list of sins I have not done No list of virtues I pursue No list of those I am not like Can earn myself a place with You O God, be merciful to me I am a sinner through and through My only hope of righteousness Is not in me, but only You ♪ No humble dress, no fervent prayer No lifted hands, no tearful song No recitation of the truth Can justify a single wrong My righteousness is Jesus' life My debt was paid by Jesus' death My weary load was borne by Him And He alone can give me rest ♪ No separation from the world No work I do, no gift I give Can cleanse my conscience, cleanse my hands I cannot cause my soul to live But Jesus died and rose again The power of death is overthrown My God is merciful to me And merciful in Christ alone (my righteousness) My righteousness is Jesus' life My debt was paid by Jesus' death My weary load was borne by Him And He alone can give me rest Yes He alone can give me rest
