None But Jesus

 

There’s no other One in whom to hope,

As with life’s trials you just can’t cope,

When unexpected woes come your way,

And faith begins to sag and to sway,

Fear rushes in with its wooing train,

Singing songs with persuasive refrain,

Of, be afraid, doubt, stress and worry,

You’re in a state altogether sorry,

To help yourself, you are weak, not strong,

You are bearing punishment for wrong.

There is little hope, you sadly say,

Not so! Grace says, Jesus is your Way,

He’s your only help, hope that is sure,

Call out! He has not shut tight His Door,

For Jesus has come, sinners to save,

He shed His Blood and went to the grave,

To guarantee that sin harms you not,

Have you not known this, have you forgot?

True, sin is evil and full of might,

But it no longer has any right,

To hold your mind in doubt and in fear,

Jesus has given you grace to wear,

It is true, in this dark world of sin,   

Trials will hit, without and within,

But there is a Saviour you can trust,

If you need help, look to Him, you must,

In your life-trials, look to Jesus,

To help, He’s altogether gracious.

Amen!
