My new favorite song

So I heard this song on Sunday night at BrookHills and loved it! Now I can't find it anywhere... it's an old him..so good.. Here's the words:

Not what my hands have done can save my guilty soul
Not what my toiling flesh has borne can make my spirit whole
Not what I feel or do can give me peace with God
Not all my prayers and sighs and tears can bear my awful load

chorus
These guilty hands are raised, filthy rags are all I bring
And I have come to hide beneath Your wings
These holy hands are raised, washed in the fountain of Your grace
And now I wear Your righteousness

They work alone O Christ can ease this weight of sin
Thy blood alone O Lamb of God can give me peace within
Thy love to me O God not mine O Lord to thee
Can rid me of this dark unrest and set my spirit free (chorus)

Thy grace alone O God to me can pardon speak
Thy power alone O Lamb of God can this sore bondage break
No other work save Thine, no other blood will do
No strength save that which is divine can bear me safely through (chorus)

I praise the God of grace, I trust His truth and might
He calls me His, I call Him mine, my God, my joy, my light
Tis He who saveth me and freely pardon gives
I love because He loveth me, I live because He lives (chorus)



If you know the title or where I can find it let me know!
