Ekun Ko Le Gba Mi / Weeping Will Not Save Me (None But Jesus)

-
Ekun ko le gba mi,
Bi mo le f'ekun we 'ju;
Ko le mu eru mi tan,
Ko le we ese mi nu;
Ekun ko le gba mi.

Egbe
Jesu sun, o ku fun mi,
O jiya lori igi
Lati so mi d' ominira,
On na l'O le gba mi.

Ise ko le gba mi;
Ise mi to dara ju,
Ero mi t'o mo julo,
Ko le so 'kan mi d'otun
Ise ko le gba mi; (Egbe)

'Duro ko le gba mi,
Enit'o junu ni mi;
L'eti mi l'anu nke pe,
Bi mo ba duro n o ku;
'Duro ko le gba mi, (Egbe)

Igbagbo le gba mi,
Jeki ngbeke l'Omo Re;
Jeki ngbekele 'se Re,
Jeki nsa si apa Re,
Igbagbo le gba mi, (Egbe).

Weeping will not save me
Tho' my face were bathed in tears,
That could not allay my fears,
Could not wash the sins of years
Weeping will not save me.

Refrain:
Jesus wept and died for me;
Jesus suffered on the tree;
Jesus waits to make me free;
He alone can save me.

Working will not save me
Purest deeds that I can do,
Holiest thoughts and feelings, too,
Can not form my soul anew
Working will not save me. [Refrain]

Waiting will not save me
Helpless, guilty, lost I lie,
In my ear is mercy's cry;
If I wail I can but die
Waiting will not save me. [Refrain]

Faith in Christ will save me
Let me trust thy weeping Son,
Trust the work that he has done;
To his arms, Lord, help me run
Faith in Christ will save me. [Refrain].

    The Lord bless you richly, most times the Holy Ghost brings a song to me in Yoruba, I always reach for the English version
