Throne of Grace (Hebrews 4:16)


Every one of us needs help.
We are not God- we all have needs.
We have weaknesses and confusion.
Our limits grow, our strength recedes
We have sins and need forgiveness
And in our hearts we know
that we don`t deserve the help we need-
And so we feel trapped, nowhere to go.

I need help to live my life,
I need help to handle death,
Help to cope with eternity
When I take my first and final breath
Let us then with confidence
draw near to the throne of grace,
that we may receive mercy
and find help in these times of need we face.

Jesus Christ became a High Priest
to shatter our hopeless despair
And to humble every man
To the drowning wretch our God declares
Because we have a Great High Priest,
The throne of God is a throne of grace.
So draw near through Him and be released
From guilt for He will plead our case.

I need help to live my life,
I need help to handle death,
I need help to cope with eternity
When I take my first and final breath
Let us then with confidence
draw near to the throne of grace,
that we may receive mercy
and find help in the time of need we face.

Because we have a Great High Priest,
An advocate who`ll intercede
The help we get is mercy
And grace to help in time of need.
And grace to help in time of need.
And grace to help in time of need.
