Not What My Hands Have Done

I heard/sang this song for the first time up at our church Family Camp and was really encouraged by it!  I pray you are encouraged as well by the reality of the amazing truth and grace of the Gospel.

"Not What My Hands Have Done"
(click on link above to hear song)

Not what my hands have done can save my guilty soul
Not what my toiling flesh has borne can make my soul 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

Chorus
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 oh Christ can ease this weight of sin
Thy blood alone, oh Lamb of God, can give me peace within
Thy Love to me, oh God, not mine oh Lord to Thee
Can rid me of this dark unrest and set my spirit free

Chorus
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, oh God, to me can pardon speak
Thy power alone, oh Lamb of God, can this sore bondage break
No other work save Thine, no other blood will do
No strength but that which is divine can bear me safely through

Chorus
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
My Lord has saved my life and freely pardon gives;
I love because He first loved me, I live because He lives
