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.
