VERSE 1:
Jesus, your blood and righteousness
My beauty are, my glorious dress;
Before Your throne, in these arrayed,
Joyful shall I lift up my head.
VERSE 2:
Bold shall I stand in that great day,
Freed from a debt I could not pay;
Fully absolved from these I am
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
VERSE 3:
Lord, I believe your precious blood,
Which at the mercy seat of God
Forever does for sinners plead,
For my unworthy soul was shed.
VERSE 4:
Lord, I believe, were sinners more
Than sands upon the ocean shore,
You have for us a ransom paid,
For us a full atonement made.
Jesus, your blood and righteousness
My beauty are, my glorious dress;
Before Your throne, in these arrayed,
Joyful shall I lift up my head.
VERSE 2:
Bold shall I stand in that great day,
Freed from a debt I could not pay;
Fully absolved from these I am
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
VERSE 3:
Lord, I believe your precious blood,
Which at the mercy seat of God
Forever does for sinners plead,
For my unworthy soul was shed.
VERSE 4:
Lord, I believe, were sinners more
Than sands upon the ocean shore,
You have for us a ransom paid,
For us a full atonement made.
