The wind and water brought the message
The ear with understanding heard
Of peace of mind and rest from burden
T'was carried in the very word
And as the mind did long imagine
Just what this rest and peace might be
With blinded eyes shut closed in darkness
There's needed light of faith to see
Faith alone in grace was working
Not a toil nor labor done
The work was finished by the making
Of the cross of God's dear Son
So here I stand on just believing
Yet wanting more for me to do
My mind's caught up in such a stuggle
And praying all my burdens through
For if it was faith alone that made me
To trust in you and you alone
Then all the wantings I imagined
Are seeds of doubt that I have sown
Faith alone in grace was working
Not a toil nor labor done
The work was finished by the making
Of the cross of God's dear Son
