"HIMSELF HE CANNOT SAVE"
Don Fortner
(Tune:
Stand Up and Bless the Lord #33 SM)
"Himself
he cannot save."
The
scorner's words are true;
To save His people Jesus had
To give
the law its due.
"Himself
he cannot save."
The
Substitute must die!
Else God
could not be just and still
This
sinner justify.
"Himself
he cannot save."
Bearing
our sin and guilt,
Christ
died the Just for the unjust;
For us
His blood was spilt!
"Himself he cannot save,"
For He the Surety stood
For all
who now by faith rely
Upon
His precious blood.
"Himself
he cannot save."
This is
His highest praise;
Christ
gave Himself to die for us,
Amazing love and grace!
