The Little Seraph ‎#100b

100b. None but Jesus

1 Weeping will not save me,
Tho' my face were bath'd in tears,
That could not allay my fears,
Could not wash the sins of years;
Weeping will not save me.

Chorus:
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 thought and feelings, too,
Cannot form my soul anew;
Working will not save me. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]
