My Only Consolation

As I survey my life I can see

Countless failures and sins

One hope remains for eternity

In Christ it ends and begins

There remains one hope after all these years

One means for my salvation

The blood of Jesus conquers all my fears

He is my only consolation

Bridge

There is nothing good I see

Apart from Him who works  in me

I am being transformed as He works out His will

To will and work and  to do-

Aligned, according to

His good pleasure  and His purpose to fulfill

As I survey my life I can see 

Some works I have done are good

Yet not I but because of Christ in me

This must be understood

There is only one who is worthy of praise

One means of my redemption

I will give Him the glory for all my days

He is my only consolation

He is my only consolation

Christ is my only consolation
