Oh

my Lord Je­sus

if I did not have You

Or if Your blood did not for sin­ners speak

Where would my soul

least

and last

and lost

Peace and for­giv­eness seek?

Where would my tears and sor­row find relief?

What oth­er heart like Yours so full of love?

You are my con­fi­dence

You and You alone

None oth­er reigns above.

Had You not loved me first

be­fore cre­ation

My stub­born heart would not have sought Your grace;

You searched me out

and in Your mer­cy took me

Into Your fond emb­race.

Now

from the bot­tom of my soul I thank You

For the eter­nal plan to give me rest

Fellowship

life for­ev­er through the cross;

Your child is tru­ly blessed.
