Why are you so Gracious
Why are we so blessed?
To have your face to shine upon us
The destination of life’s quest.
There we find abundant rest
This is the eternal essence
Of the deep desire we bear
To abide within your presence
To be ne’re
cast out from there
The answer to our very prayer.
We partake of endless mercies
Stand faultless before the throne
Clothed in robes of righteousness
Woven by wounded hands alone
Our Savior’s hands and not our own
We cannot stay secluded
Yet we ever linger long
We must live the victory in this world
To sing the victor’s song
As we live before the throne where we belong
So now lose your life to find it
Live and give your life away
Live life how the Lord designed it
Walk in victory today
Take up the cross and follow The Way.
And at the throne of blessedness
Standing there we are undone
There is no place for selfishness
For pride and lusts are done
Standing there within the Holy One
As we go our God is with us
In this God’s likeness view
The nature of God’s glory
Has made His Image bearers new
Empty vessels made good and true!
So now lose your life to find it
Live and give your life away
Live life how the Lord designed it
Walk in victory today
Take up the cross and follow The Way.
