1. Would you know how I was saved,
Gained the peace that now I have;
How He saved me from the fall?
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

Refrain
Nothing of my own to claim,
Trusting only Jesus’ name;
Making Him my all in all,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

2. Poor and helpless soul was I,
Sinful and afraid to die;
Jesus heard my stammering call,
Trusting Jesus did it all. [Refrain]

3. Not by works was my reward,
But believing on the Lord;
Saved was I through faith, though small—
Trusting Jesus, that is all. [Refrain]
