Father, I can come to you and boast of deeds I’ve done
In my pride I strive to earn the favor christ has won
He alone pleads my acceptance, all my works aside
So I come with empty hands and I cling to christ

Father, I can go astray and battle needless fears
Voices tell me I’m condemned and that I can’t draw near
But your spirit calls me homeward with your words of life
Jesus bore my every sin, so, I cling to christ

It’s more than I can do
To keep my hold on you
But all my hope and peace
Is that you cling to me

Father, all my earthly aims in time will turn to dust
Let me learn that loss is gain for those who know your love
All the treasures of this world will never satisfy
You alone are endless joy, so, I cling to christ
