Weeping Will Not Save Me

Working will not save me,
Purest deeds that I can do,
Holiest thought and feeling too,
Cannot form my soul anew,
Working will not save me.

Refrain

Jesus wept and died for me;
Jesus suffered on the tree;
Jesus waits to make me free;
He alone can save me.

Weeping will not save me,
Though my face were bathed in tears,
That could not allay may fears,
Could not wash the sins of years,
Weeping will not save me.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.
