NO OTHER PLEA:

My faith has found a resting place, not in device, nor creed
I trust the ever living one; his wounds for me shall plead

I need no other argument, I need no other plea
It is enough that Jesus died and that he died for me

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

I need no other argument, I need no other plea
It is enough that Jesus died and that he died for me

My heart is leaning on the word, the written word of God
Salvation by my saviours’name, Salvation through his blood

I need no other argument, I need no other plea
It is enough that Jesus died and that he died for me

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.

I need no other argument, I need no other plea
It is enough that Jesus died and that he died for me

It just hit me hard when this song was sung in our church recently. It is an amazing song by William J Kirkpatrick written centuries ago, so simple and profound.
You can listen to the song in the following links
