Merciful
Our Father in heaven is merciful
To do what we never could
On our own
And give us peace with God
Justified
No longer condemned
We are justified
For our every sin has been
Laid upon another at the cross
But who would stand in our place?
And who would offer a way to heaven?
Christ, the Lord, our righteousness
Our hope of salvation, our only defense
Who stands in the gap, living to intercede
For his ransomed, forgiven, blood-bought redeemed
Uttermost
Jesus, he saves to the uttermost
With grace that outpaces
Our darkest sins and our deepest shame
Oh, hallelujah
Christ, the Lord, our righteousness
Our hope of salvation, our only defense
Who stands in the gap, living to intercede
For his ransomed, forgiven, blood-bought redeemed
Christ, the Lord, our great high priest
Who points to the wounds in his hands and his feet
As the once for all perfect eternal plea
For his ransomed, forgiven, blood bought, redeemed
Christ, the Lord, our righteousness
Our hope of salvation, our only defense
Who stands in the gap, living to intercede
For his ransomed, forgiven, blood-bought redeemed
Now we stand before God, who delights to receive
All his ransomed, forgiven, blood-bought, redeemed
