A debtor to mercy alone
Of covenant mercy I sing
I come with your righteousness on
My humble off’ring to bring
The judgments of Your holy law
With me can have nothing to do
My Savior’s obedience and blood
Hide all my transgressions from view
The work which Your goodness began
The arm of Your strength will complete
Your promise is yes and amen
And never was forfeited yet
The future or things that are now
No power below or above
Can make You Your purpose forego
Or sever my soul from Your love
My name from the palms of Your hands
Eternity will not erase
Impressed on Your heart it remains
In marks of indelible grace
Yes, I to the end will endure
Until I bow down at your throne
Forever and always secure
Forever and always secure
Forever and always secure
A debtor to mercy alone
Original lyrics by Augustus M. Toplady, 1771.
Music and alternate lyrics by Bob Kauflin.
The lyrics are full of God's truths. It would be neat to hear the actual song!
