Here is one of my favorite songs. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. It is filled with Truth.

Lynne 


Not What My Hands Have Done

Not what my hands have done can save my guilty soul 
Not what my toiling flesh has borne can make my spirit whole
 
Not what I feel or do can give me peace with God
 
Not all my prayers and sighs and tears can bear my awful load
 
These guilty hands are raised, filthy rags are all I bring
 
And I have come to hide beneath Your wings
 
These holy hands are raised, washed in the fountain of Your grace
 
And now I wear Your righteousness.
 

Thy work alone O Christ can ease this weight of sin 
Thy blood alone O Lamb of God can give me peace within
 
Thy love to me O God not mine O Lord to thee
 
Can rid me of this dark unrest and set my spirit free
 
These guilty hands are raised, filthy rags are all I bring
 
And I have come to hide beneath Your wings
 
These holy hands are raised, washed in the fountain of Your grace
 
And now I wear Your righteousness.
 

Thy grace alone O God to me can pardon speak 
Thy power alone O Lamb of God can this sore bondage break
 
No other work save Thine, no other blood will do
 
No strength save that which is divine can bear me safely through
 
These guilty hands are raised, filthy rags are all I bring
 
And I have come to hide beneath Your wings
 
These holy hands are raised, washed in the fountain of Your grace
 
And now I wear Your righteousness.
 

I praise the God of grace I trust His truth and might
 
He calls me His I call Him mine my God, my joy, my light
 
Tis He who saveth me and freely pardon gives
 
I love because He loveth me I live because He lives
 
These guilty hands are raised, filthy rags are all I bring
 
And I have come to hide beneath Your wings
 
These holy hands are raised, washed in the fountain of Your grace
 
And now I wear Your righteousness.
