I Stake My Whole Eternity

Upon a life I did not live,
    Upon a death I did not die,
Upon Another's life, Another's death,
    I stake my whole eternity.

Not on the tears which I have shed,
    Not on the sorrows I have known,
Another's tears, Another's griefs,
    On them I rest, on them alone.

Not what these hands have done
    Can save the guilty soul;
Not what this toiling flesh has borne
    Can make the spirit whole.

Thy blood alone, Lord Jesus,
    Can cleanse my soul from sin;
Thy Word alone, O Lamb of God,
    Can give me peace within!
