1
Working will not save me;
Purest deeds that I can do,
Holiest thoughts and feelings too,
Cannot form my soul anew;
Working will not save me.
Jesus wept and died for me;
Jesus suffered on the tree;
Jesus waits to make me free,
He alone can save me.
2
Weeping will not save me;
Though my face were bathed in tears,
That could not allay my fears,
Could not wash the sins of years;
Weeping will not save me.
Jesus wept and died for me;
Jesus suffered on the tree;
Jesus waits to make me free,
He alone can save me.
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.
Jesus wept and died for me;
Jesus suffered on the tree;
Jesus waits to make me free,
He alone can save me.
4
Praying will not save me;
All the prayers that I could say
Could not wash my sins away,
All I owe could never pay:
Praying will not save me.
Jesus wept and died for me;
Jesus suffered on the tree;
Jesus waits to make me free,
He alone can save me.
5
Faith in Christ will save me;
Let me trust Thy gracious Son,
Trust the work that He has done,
To His arms, Lord, help me run;
Faith in Christ will save me.
Jesus wept and died for me;
Jesus suffered on the tree;
Jesus waits to make me free,
He alone can save me.

Romans 10:9-10
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord, ” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

I'm enthralled by the lovely reminder this song brings me, that the best of my works is not sufficient to save me. Faith in Christ is sufficient. I cease from my works and come into His rest. Faith in Christ guarantees me ultimate salvation. Thanks for uploading this.
Like the prodigal son and like Peter, I am running back to the cross, not just to give my life but to lay down my spent body, thoughts, worries and exhaustion. For ONLY He alone can save me. I need Him like the air I breath.
He alone can save me, till this dawns on me nothing would bring me warmth in this cold world.

My mother's favourite song.

Yes, only through Jesus' finished work on the cross can we be saved
Thank You LAMB of God for taking our place on the that cruel cross.
