  • song of the moment...

    Nothing That My Hands Can Do

    VERSE 1
    There’s nothing that my hands can do
    To save my guilty soul
    I cannot cleanse my filthy stains
    Or make my spirit whole
    For nothing but the blood of Christ
    Can all my sins erase
    I dare not claim my righteousness
    But hide within His grace
    ‘Tis Christ who saved me from the depths
    God’s pardon I’ve received
    I’m washed within His precious blood
    My heart is sprinkled clean

    VERSE 2
    I’ll praise the God of holiness
    Of justice, truth, and might
    Who guides me by His mighty hand
    To walk within His light
    While Satan weaves his shallow lies
    God speaks to me in love
    Reminding me His only Son
    Has bought me with His blood
    And Christ dispels my every doubt
    Through Him I am redeemed
    I love because He loved me first
    I live because He lives

    VERSE 3
    My life is but a fleeting sigh
    A tear within the sea
    But You are everlasting, Lord
    And You’ve predestined me
    To leave this fading world behind
    Not fearing death will come
    For then I’ll look on Jesus Christ
    And to His arms I’ll run
    And when I see Him face to face
    What glory that will be
    To look upon my Savior’s scars
    And know they were for me
