lyrics
Lord, I believe; oh deal with me
As one who has thy word believed;
I take the gift, Lord look on me
As one who has thy gift received.
Here at thy feast, I grasp the pledge
Which life eternal to me seals,
Here in the bread and wine I read
The grace and peace thy death reveals.
CHORUS:
Jesus, O Son of God, I build
On what thy cross has done for me;
There both my death and life I read,
My guilt, my pardon there I see
There I see, oh now I see
I taste the love the gift contains,
I clasp the pardon which it brings,
And pass up to the living source
Above, whence all this fullness springs.
Not on merit of my own, not on doings which I have done
Not on a life I have lived, not victory over death I won
Not on sorrows which I have known, not on tears which I have cried
No it wasn’t my perfect life, no it wasn’t me who was crucified
Another’s life, another’s death,
On Christ I stand, on Christ alone I rest,
Jesus alone sets me free, from everything
