Lyrics
Your works, not mine, O Christ
Speak gladness to this heart
They tell me all is done
They bid my fears depart
Your pains, not mine, O Christ
Upon the shameful tree
Have paid the laws full price
And purchased peace for me
O Christ, by Your sacrifice you’ve paid the debt I owe
O Christ, You’re my righteousness, I cling to you alone
Thy cross, not mine, O Christ,
Has borne the awe-full load
Of sins that none could bear
But the incarnate God.
Thy death, not mine, O Christ,
Has paid the ransom due;
Ten thousand deaths like mine
Would have been all too few.
O Christ, by Your sacrifice you’ve paid the debt I owe
O Christ, You’re my righteousness, I cling to you alone
