Only God Himself Could Ransom Me That Way

Those silent, bloody footprints,

Trekked up to Calvary’s cross,

To purge my soul like incense,

And pay redemption’s cost;

 

Only God Himself can cleanse the sinner’s soul,

Only God Himself can mend a broken heart,

He’s the only one who had the price to pay,

Only God Himself could ransom me that way!

 

O’ Lamb of God most holy,

Whose blood is undefiled,

What matchless love you showed me,

To save my soul, most vile;

 

Only God Himself can cleanse the sinner’s soul,

Only God Himself can mend a broken heart,

He’s the only one who had the price to pay,

Only God Himself could ransom me that way!

 

O’ Pure and holy Savior,

Whose heart did break for me,

You showed me wondrous favor,

While dying on that tree;

 

Only God Himself can cleanse the sinner’s soul,

Only God Himself can mend a broken heart,

He’s the only one who had the price to pay,

Only God Himself could ransom me that way!
