The Evergreen ‎#14

14. Only Jesus Can Save

1 Tears will not save me! I'll cease then my weeping,
The stains of my sins lie too deep on my soul,
I'll flee to my Saviour whose warm heart is leaping
To welcome, forgive and to make me whole.

Chorus:
Jesus can save and Jesus alone,
Jesus alone, Jesus alone,
Jesus, my Lord and my Saviour, I own,
Jesus, my Saviour, I own.

2 Works will not save me! I'll cease then to trust them,
Too long I have trusted in what I have done,
I'll come in my weakness to one who invites me,
And offers free pardon in His dear Son. [Chorus]

3 Jesus can save me, My glorified Saviour!
The blood that he shed as atonement for sin,
Alone has the power to wash my defilement,
This only can make me all pure within. [Chorus]
