So,I this is one of my new favorite songs from igrace. Okay, so end up having between 50 - 75% of each cd as my favorite songs. ha ha. I really like the simplicity of this song. I am grateful to igrace for highlighting old hymns that are rarely sung.
Upon A Life I Did Not Live
Horatius Bonar
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 death and life 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.
