1. I've tried in vain a thousand ways
  My fears to quell, my hopes to raise;
  But what I need, the Bible says,
  Is ever, only Jesus.
2. My soul is night, my heart is steel ��
  I cannot see, I cannot feel;
  For light, for life I must appeal
  In simple faith to Jesus.
3. He died, He lives, He reigns, He pleads;
  There's love in all His words and deeds;
  There's all a guilty sinner needs
  Forevermore in Jesus.
4. Though some should sneer, and some should blame,
  I'll go with all my guilt and shame;
  I'll go to Him because His name,
  Above all names, is Jesus.
