First Line: Weeping will not save me ,

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 !
