[Chorus 1]
Upon a life I have not lived
Upon a death I did not die
Another's life, another's death
I stake my whole eternity

[Verse 2]
Not on the tears which I have shed
Not on the sorrows I have known
Another's tears, another's grief
On these I rest, on these alone

[Chorus]
O Jesus, Son of God
I build on what Thy cross has done for me
There both my death and life I read
My guilt, and pardon there I see
And there I see

[Verse 3]
Lord, I believe; O deal with me
As one who has Thy Word believed
I take the gift, Lord, look on me
As one who has Thy gift received

[Chorus 2]
O Jesus, Son of God
I build on what Thy cross has done for me
There both my death and life I read
My guilt, and pardon there I see
There I see
[Chorus 1]
Upon a life I have not lived
Upon a death I did not die
Another's life, another's death
I stake my whole eternity

[Bridge]
O Jesus, Son of God
I build on what Thy cross has done for me
There both my death and life I read
My guilt, and pardon there I see

[Chorus 2]
O Jesus, Son of God
I build on what Thy cross has done for me
There both my death and life I read
My guilt, and pardon there I see
And there I see
