Him, And Him Alone

Him, and Him alone Bowed to the ground as the weight of sins fell crushing Him alone Blood on His face when the powers of hell rushed in on Him alone Scorched with the pains of eternal fire engulfing Him alone Him, and Him alone How could I think it's mine to merit Or speak of my share in it This saving work He wrought alone I've been a fool to believe I'd earn it Or suppose I could deserve it By words and deeds I'd call my own From this day on I know I'm saved by Him alone Him, and Him alone Scorned and abused though redeeming love would spring from Him alone The sword of God's vengeance for broken law swung down on Him alone Hung on a cross till He cried "It's finished"—just Him alone Him, and Him alone How could I think it's mine to merit Or speak of my share in it This saving work He wrought alone I've been a fool to believe I'd earn it Or suppose I could deserve it By words and deeds I'd call my own From this day on I know I'm saved by Him alone His cross and death are foolishness to those who do not know this They trust in flesh and look another way But blessed are those who place their hope in Him alone For He is mighty He alone is mighty to save I will not think it's mine to merit Or speak of my share in it This saving work He's wrought alone No more the fool to believe I'd earn it Or suppose I could deserve it By words and deeds I'd call my own From this day on I know I'm saved by Him alone My Lord and God I'll look to Him, and Him alone
