You can't go by your feelings they'll lead you wrong
You can't go by some preachers and some gospel songs
You can't go by the church or being baptized
But there's one thing you can go by
You can't go by religion or what others say
You can't go by the prayers you've said on the way
You can't go by your good living
Cause one day you'll die
But there's one thing you can go by
Just go by what jesus has done
Just go by your faith in the son
Just go by the old rugged cross
Just go by his blood paid the cost
And whenever you doubt that the victory's been won
Just go by what jesus has done
You can't go by the troubles that you've been through
You can't go by the memories of the good deeds you do
You can't go by your money or the blessings of life
But there's one thing you can go by
Just go by what jesus has done
Just go by your faith in the son
Just go by the old rugged cross
Just go by his blood paid the cost
And whenever you doubt that the victory's been won
Just go by what jesus has done
And whenever you doubt that the victory's been won
Just go by what jesus has done
