I Stand Redeemed!

Last night at church the choir sang the song titled "I Stand Redeemed." Right when they started singing it, I recognized it and whispered over to Kyle and told him that it was one of my favorite songs. This song gives me the chills whenever I hear it. I think the words are great! I can't help but feel overwhelming gratitude for what the Lord has done for me- considering the horrible sinner that I am. Here are the lyrics.

When I think of all my faults and my failures

When I consider all the times I let God down
I'm humbled by the grace He has extended
I'm amazed at the mercy I have found
I could never earn this love on my own
Yet every time I come before His throne


I stand redeemed
By the blood of the Lamb
I stand redeemed
Before the Great I Am
When He looks at me
he sees the nail scarred hands
That bought my liberty
I stand redeemed


Even at my best I am unworthy
I have nothing precious I can give
A broken heart is all I have to offer
And yet it is a priceless gift to Him
The bitter mark of sin will never fade away
But I can come before Him unashamed
