BY HIMSELF  

“Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had...by himself, purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.”

Hebrews 1:3 

By himself, bleeding, dying and all alone

His Father's presence is now withdrawn.

By himself, on a cross made from wood

He paid sin's debt, only he should and could.

By himself, it is finished, the Savior cried;

Then he bowed his head and Jesus died.

By himself, that day is past, and now no longer true;

Seated with the Father, there for me, and there for you.

By"yourself"  just you, no one else, you and you alone

Will you right now come to Christ and to the throne?

By "yourself,” now is the time, here is the place to start;

Remember, it was Christ who opened Lydia's heart.

By yourself, come and on Christ and Christ alone believe;

Christ will draw you to himself, his grace you will receive.
