My Faith Has Found a Resting Place

75 My Faith Has Found a Resting Place

1. My faith has found a resting place,
   Not in device nor creed.
   I trust the ever-living One;
   His wounds for me shall plead.

Refrain:
   I need no other argument,
   I need no other plea,
   It is enough that Jesus died,
   And that he died for me.

2. Enough for me that Jesus saves,
   This ends my fear and doubt;
   A sinful soul I come to Him,
   He’ll never cast me out. [Refrain]

3. My heart is leaning on the Word,
   The written Word of God,
   Salvation by my Savior’s name,
   Salvation thro' his blood. [Refrain]

4. My Great Physician heals the sick,
   The lost He came to save;
   For me his precious blood he shed,
   For me his life he gave. [Refrain]

Again, more of a gsopel song, in that it addresses sinners, not saints. Yes, those who have trusted Jesus for salvation are no long sinners, but saints. If you've followed this blog for very long, you'll know that's a favorite theme of mine...

By the way, take a few seconds to read the biography of the hymnwriter. Seems she didn't let debilitating health stand in her way, which gives the fourth verse extra punch.
