lyrics

"My Only Hope"
Words and music by Stephen McNeill

I found myself a desperate man
My sin, as black as death
Separated from the God
Who gives me every breath

My righteousness, a bloody mess,
The best that I could bring
My only hope was Jesus' blood
A substitute for me

Jesus is my only hope
My only strength and song
His sovereign grace and perfect love
Are all I stand upon

He laid aside His glory and
His holy throne above
He took on flesh in humbleness
To show the Father's love

He lived the life I could not live
A spotless sacrifice
He died the death that I deserved
And rose again to life

CHORUS

The Father's wrath was satisfied
The veil was torn in two
God and man, now reconciled
The promise proven true

He called me to deny myself
And follow after Him
In faith, I walk by grace alone
Until I meet my end

CHORUS

His righteousness, I now possess
Through no work of my own
His Spirit is my comforter
And heaven is my home

He came to give abundant life
That life I now do live
To live is Christ, to die is gain
And either is to live

CHORUS
