Not in me

No list of sins I have not done

No list of virtues I pursue

No list of those I am not like

Can earn myself a place with You

O God, be merciful to me

I am a sinner through and through

My only hope of righteousness

Is not in me, but only You

No humble dress, no fervent prayer

No lifted hands, no tearful song

No recitation of the truth

Can justify a single wrong

My righteousness is Jesus' life

My debt was paid by Jesus' death

My weary load was borne by Him

And He alone can give me rest

No separation from the world

No work I do, no gift I give

Can cleanse my conscience, cleanse my hands

I cannot cause my soul to live

But Jesus died and rose again

The power of death is overthrown

My God is merciful to me

And merciful in Christ alone

My righteousness is Jesus' life

My debt was paid by Jesus' death

My weary load was borne by Him

And He alone can give me rest

Yes, He alone can give me rest
