Lyrics
My faith has found a resting place,
Not in device nor creed;
I trust the Ever-living One,
His wounds for me shall plead. .
Chorus
I need no other argument,
I need no other plea
It is enough that Jesus died,
And that He died for me. .
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. .
My heart is leaning on the Word,
The written Word of God,
Salvation by my Savior’s name,
Salvation through His blood. .
My great Physician heals the sick,
The lost He came to save;
For me His precious blood He shed,
For me His life He gave.

Meaning & Inspiration
The hymn presents faith as a settled trust in Jesus rather than dependence on human argument or religious formulas. Its repeated confession, “It is enough that Jesus died,” centers salvation on Christ’s sacrificial death and gives the song a clear assurance: fear and doubt lose their claim when the sinner rests in the Savior. The language of resting, pleading wounds, and welcome also portrays faith as reliance on grace rather than personal merit.
Each stanza develops that confidence from a different angle. God’s written Word provides a firm basis for belief, Christ’s blood secures salvation, and the image of the great Physician points to healing for those damaged by sin. The declaration that Christ will not cast out the one who comes to him closely echoes Jesus’ promise in John 6:37. Together, these lines make the hymn a concise expression of trust, pardon, and perseverance grounded in Christ’s completed work.
