Lyrics
My faith has found a resting place,
Not in a man made creed;
I trust the Ever-living One,
That he for me will plead.
Enough for me that Jesus saves,
This ends my fear and doubt;
A sinful soul I come to Him,
He will not cast me out.
I need no other evidence,
I need no other plea;
It is enough that Jesus died,
And rose again for me.
My soul is resting on the Word,
The living Word of God,
Salvation in my Savior's name,
Salvation through His blood.
I need no other evidence,
I need no other plea;
It is enough that Jesus died,
And rose again for me.
The great physician heals the sick
The lost He came to seek
For me His precious blood He shed
For me His life He gave
On Christ the solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand.
I need no other argument,
I need no other plea;
It is enough that Jesus died,
And that He died for me.

Meaning & Inspiration
My Faith Has Found a Resting Place presents salvation as settled confidence in Jesus rather than dependence on a human creed or additional proof. Each stanza returns to the sufficiency of Christ’s death and resurrection, making the refrain both a confession of faith and an answer to fear and doubt. The hymn also points to Scripture, Christ’s intercession, his blood, and his work of seeking the lost as grounds for assurance.
Its language closely reflects several biblical promises. Jesus’ statement that he will not cast out those who come to him appears in the second stanza, while the image of Christ as solid rock conveys stability amid every lesser foundation. The references to a physician and a seeker of the lost present salvation as rescue for those who recognize their need. Across the lyric, faith rests not in the strength of personal certainty but in the person and completed work of Christ. That focus gives the hymn its calm, durable sense of assurance.
