My Only Hope

UPON LIFE I DID NOT LIVE

Words by Horatius Bonar (alt. K Twit), Music by Kevin Twit ©2012 Kevin Twit Music (ASCAP)

lyrics

1. Upon a life I have not lived, 

Upon a death I did not die, 

Another’s life; Another’s death, 

I stake my whole eternity. 

2. Not on the tears which I have shed, 

Not on the sorrows I have known, 

Another’s tears; Another’s griefs, 

On these I rest, on these alone. 

Chorus: 

O Jesus, Son of God, I build on what Thy cross has done for me; 

There both my life and death I read, my guilt, and pardon there I see. 

3. Lord, I believe; O deal with me, 

As one who has Thy Word believed! 

I take the gift, Lord, look on me, 

As one who has Thy gift received. 

(Chorus)
