Not By Works
by Gertrude Jefferies

It's Christ dying, not our doing,
We are never saved by works.
Only through the death of Jesus,
Can we experience the New Birth.

Jesus left his home in heaven,
Came to earth to give his life.
And the blood he shed at Cal'vry
Only 'it' could sin suffice.

Jesus died for every nation
Men and women, boys and girls
By his death sin's power was broken
Mercy and grace, gave to the world.
