Only Jesus

Original Music: Only Trust Him, John Stockton, (1813-1877).

I do not care to offer thanks or praise God for his good.
My heart is hard; my will is bent, fallen where Adam stood.
Only Jesus, only Jesus, can absolve my sin.
He who made me, recreate me, make me new again.

Sin wrought us pain and suffering, our sorrow justly bear,
The darkness hides thy glorious son who bore the weight unfair.
Only Jesus, only Jesus, can absolve my sin.
He who made me, recreate me, make me new again.

Thy grace alone must overcome and pierce my hardened heart
Cause me to rise and follow near and rend the veil apart.
Only Jesus, only Jesus, can absolve my sin.
He who made me, recreate me, make me new again.

He who died makes all things new; He overcomes all death
Trust only in his righteousness, the soul finds happiness.
Only Jesus, only Jesus, can absolve my sin.
He who made me, recreate me, make me new again.

Love nothing here upon this earth, let goods and kindred go,
Pursue the treasures from above, His freedoms only know.
Only Jesus, only Jesus, can absolve my sin.
He who made me, recreate me, make me new again.
