The Lord is sovereign in all the earth
Man are but of little worth
Thou we may try to earn our ways
pursuing righteouesness all our days
Invain by works we pursue thee
For faith is what requires of me
Truely O Lord apart from you
can we ever find rest in you
Nothing in my hand I bring
simply to thy Cross I cling
