Not What My Hands Have Done Nathan Clark George

1 Verse:
      C                                         F
Not what my hands have done
       D/F#                   G
Can save my guilty soul;
      C               C/E     Am G      F
Not what my toiling flesh has borne
       C                G       C
Can make my spirit whole.

      F                         C
Not what I feel or do
       Am                                 C/E
Can give me peace with God;
      C         C/E                  F
Not all my prayers, and sighs and tears
        C               G       C
Can bear my awful load.

2 Verse:
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!

3 Verse:
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
Each thought of unbelief and fear,
Each lingering shade of gloom 

4 Verse:
And I praise the God of grace,
I trust His truth and might
He calls me His, I call Him mine,
My God, my joy, my light

’Tis He Who saveth me,
And freely pardon gives
I love because He loveth me,
I live because He lives
