Once I stood in condemnation

Once I stood in condemnation

Waiting thus the sinner’s doom;

Christ in death has wrought salvation

God has raised Him from the tomb.

Once I was to God a stranger

Filled with enmity and fear;

He has rescued me from danger

Love revealed and brought me near.

He has rescued me from danger

Love revealed and brought me near.

Now I see in Christ’s acceptance

But the measure of my own;

He who lay beneath my sentence

Seated high upon the Throne.

Quickened

raised

and in Him seated

I a full deliverance know;

Every foe has been defeated

Every enemy laid low

Every foe has been defeated

Every enemy laid low.

Now I have a life in union

With the risen Lord above;

Now I drink in sweet communion

Some rich foretaste of His love.

Soon

O Lord! in highest glory

All its vastness I’ll explore;

Soon I’ll cast my crown before Thee

While I worship and adore

Soon I’ll cast my crown before Thee

While I worship and adore.
