My Only Hope
I found myself a desperate man
My sin, as black as death
Separated from the God
Who gives me every breath
My righteousness, a bloody mess
The best that I could bring
My only hope was Jesus' blood
A substitute for me
Jesus is my only hope
My only strength and song
His sovereign grace and perfect love
Are all I stand upon
He laid aside His glory and
His holy throne above
He took on flesh in humbleness
To show the Father's love
He lived the life I could not live
A spotless sacrifice
He died the death that I deserved
And rose again to life
Jesus is my only hope
My only strength and song
His sovereign grace and perfect love
Are all I stand upon
The Father's wrath was satisfied
The veil was torn in two
God and man, now reconciled
The promise proven true
He called me to deny myself
And follow after Him
In faith, I walk by grace alone
Until I meet my end
Jesus is my only hope
My only strength and song
His sovereign grace and perfect love
Are all I stand upon
His righteousness, I now possess
Through no work of my own
His Spirit is my comforter
And heaven is my home
He came to give abundant life
That life I now do live
To live is Christ, to die is gain
And either is to live
Jesus is my only hope
My only strength and song
His sovereign grace and perfect love
Are all I stand upon
Jesus is my only hope
My only strength and song
His sovereign grace and perfect love
Are all I stand upon
My sin, as black as death
Separated from the God
Who gives me every breath
My righteousness, a bloody mess
The best that I could bring
My only hope was Jesus' blood
A substitute for me
Jesus is my only hope
My only strength and song
His sovereign grace and perfect love
Are all I stand upon
He laid aside His glory and
His holy throne above
He took on flesh in humbleness
To show the Father's love
He lived the life I could not live
A spotless sacrifice
He died the death that I deserved
And rose again to life
Jesus is my only hope
My only strength and song
His sovereign grace and perfect love
Are all I stand upon
The Father's wrath was satisfied
The veil was torn in two
God and man, now reconciled
The promise proven true
He called me to deny myself
And follow after Him
In faith, I walk by grace alone
Until I meet my end
Jesus is my only hope
My only strength and song
His sovereign grace and perfect love
Are all I stand upon
His righteousness, I now possess
Through no work of my own
His Spirit is my comforter
And heaven is my home
He came to give abundant life
That life I now do live
To live is Christ, to die is gain
And either is to live
Jesus is my only hope
My only strength and song
His sovereign grace and perfect love
Are all I stand upon
Jesus is my only hope
My only strength and song
His sovereign grace and perfect love
Are all I stand upon
