I Need No Other
Todd Agnew Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

My faith has found a resting place
Not in device or creed
I trust the ever living One
For me his wounds shall plead

I need no other argument
I need no other plea
It is enough that Jesus died

And that He died for me

It's enough for me that Jesus saves
This ends my fear and doubt
A sinful soul I come to Him
He'll never cast me out

And I need no other argument
I need no other plea
It is enough that Jesus died
And that He died for me

My great Physician heals the sick
The lost He came to save
For me His precious blood was spilled
For me His life He gave

And I need no other argument
I need no other plea
It is enough that Jesus died
And that He died for me

And I need no other argument
I need no other plea

It is enough that Jesus died
And that He died for me
