Verse 1
My faith has found a resting place,
Not in a manmade creed;

I need no other plea;
It is enough that Jesus died
And rose again for me.

This ends my fear and doubt;
A sinful soul I come to Him,
He will not cast me out.

The lost He came to save;
For me His precious blood He shed,
For me His life He gave.
