Point of Grace - "Before the Throne of Grace"

Before the throne of grace I come

Humble and repentant one

With sorrow for the deeds I've done

Before the throne of grace I come

Before the throne of grace I fall

With a trembling voice I call

For pardon from the Lord of all

Before the throne of grace I fall

I love the Lamb who took my sin

Whose Mercy makes me clean again

Before the throne of grace I hear

Debt is paid your name is clear

Such precious words of life so dear

Before the throne of grace I hear

I love the Lamb who took my sin

Whose Mercy makes me clean again

I rise with words of grateful praise

Knowing now the only way

Before the throne of grace I stand

All because the Son of Man

Bears my wounds, His Feet, His Hands

Before the throne of grace I stand, I stand

Before the throne of grace I stand

So, I'm a little late on an official Thanksgiving Day post, but surely it's always the appropriate time to give thanks. I just want to share with you the overwhelming thanks I give to my Savior today for the amazing, unearnable, completely undeserved opportunity to stand before the throne of grace. We can stand! His grace covers us. We come fallen and trembling, and He lifts us up! We stand in Him. Clean. Forgiven. Grateful. When we accept His offer to get up, to take His hand, to let go of whatever we've done and whoever we've been, to hide ourselves in Him, that is when we are free to lift our heads in hope and our hearts in praise. We get the outrageous benefit of knowing Him, and He gets the glory due His name. I hope you know Him today in a way that prompts you to join with me in thanksgiving and praise for who He is and what He's done for us.
