|
So many years I cried 'cause my soul denied |
|
That He would save a wretch like me |
|
So full of gloom and dread that I hung my head |
|
I wouldn't claim the victory |
|
Then one day His love like a winged dove |
|
Settled down upon my life |
|
And I realized he had authorized |
|
My ticket to paradise |
|
On the authority of the Holy Word |
|
I rise up and take my stand |
|
I'm a blood bought child of the living God |
|
Who is the Great I Am |
|
I'm an heir to all that heaven holds |
|
And no principality |
|
Can ever take away my royal crown |
|
Given on His authority |
|
It's a mystery why He came to me |
|
Why He would choose me for His own |
|
Why He pulled me out of the lake of doubt |
|
Set me right beside His throne |
|
Why he guaranteed, with His seal decreed |
|
My inheritance by right |
|
I'm His favored child, and that makes me smile |
|
I'm the center of His delight |
|
On the authority of the Holy Word |
|
I rise up and take my stand |
|
I'm a blood bought child of the living God |
|
Who is the Great I Am |
|
I'm an heir to all that heaven holds |
|
And no principality |
|
Can ever take away my royal crown |
|
Given on His authority |
|
On the authority of the Holy Word |
|
I rise up and take my stand |
|
I'm a blood bought child of the living God |
|
Who is the Great I Am |
|
I'm an heir to all that heaven holds |
|
And no principality |
|
Can ever take away my royal crown |
|
Given on His authority |
|
I'm an heir to all that heaven holds |
|
And no principality |
|
Can ever take away my royal crown |
|
Given on His authority |
