YOU ARE THE PERFECT AND RIGHTEOUS GOD
Whose presence bears no sin;
You bid me come to Your holy place:
How can I enter in
When Your presence bears no sin?
Through Him who poured out His life for me,
The atoning Lamb of God,
Through Him and His work alone I boldly come.
I come by the blood, I come by the cross,
Where Your mercy flows
From hands pierced for me.
For I dare not stand on my righteousness,
My every hope rests on what Christ has done,
And I come by the blood.
You are the high and exalted King,
The One the angels fear;
So far above me in every way,
Lord, how can I draw near
To the One the angels fear?
Through Him who laid down His life for me
And ascended to Your side,
Through Him, through Jesus alone I boldly come.
