By the Blood I stand

In your presence in a weary land

I do not stand alone

But with your people before your throne

Where we boldly come but humbly fall

And cast our crowns before the Lord of All.

To boldly enter in, to humbly bow before Him

Our maker, redeemer and friend

Here in His presence that never shall end!

Faultless now we stand

Before the throne we understand

The great gulf he has spanned

According to His plan

His eyes aflame and face aglow

The earth His footstool here below

The Rod of Righteousness in His hand

And yet by grace there we may stand!

He bore the weight of sin

For the glory set before Him

He bore the cross and all it’s shame

So now there is no other name!

At the feet of Jesus every knee shall bow

In heaven and all the universe- procalim His Lordship NOW!

Every tongue confess

Every tongue now bless

Jesus Christ as Sovereign Lord of all

To the Glory of the Father On our face we fall.
