Boldly I Approach
Rend Collective Lyrics

By grace alone somehow I stand
I am able to stand only by God's grace, which is amazing and incomprehensible

Where even angels fear to tread
God's throne is so holy and majestic that even angels are afraid to approach it

Invited by redeeming love
I am welcomed into God's presence through his love, which has saved me from my sins

Before the throne of God above
I am standing before God's heavenly throne, where he rules over all creation

He pulls me close with nail-scarred hands
Jesus, who was crucified and bore the scars, is the one who draws me near to God

Into his everlasting arms
God's love and care for me are eternal and unending

When condemnation grips my heart
When I feel guilty and ashamed of my sins

And satan tempts me to despair
And the devil tries to make me believe that I am too sinful to be saved

I hear the voice that scatters fear
I listen to God's voice, which dispels my fear and reassures me of his love

The great I am the lord is here
God, who is always present and powerful, is with me

Oh, praise the one who fights for me
I give thanks to God, who fights for me and protects me from harm

And shields my soul eternally
God's protection of my soul is constant and everlasting

Boldly I approach your throne
I come confidently and fearlessly into God's presence

Blameless now I'm running home
Through Jesus' sacrifice, I am now forgiven and pure, and I am running toward my heavenly home

By your blood I come
I am saved and redeemed by Jesus' blood, which was shed for me

Welcomed as your own
God considers me as his own child and welcomes me with open arms

Into the arms of majesty
I am embraced by God's magnificent and glorious presence

Behold the bright and risen son
See the amazing and victorious Jesus, who conquered death and sin

More beauty than this world has known
Jesus' beauty and splendor far surpass anything in this world

I'm face to face with love himself
I am in the presence of God who is love itself

His perfect spotless righteousness
God's righteousness is perfect and flawless, and it has been imputed to me

A thousand years, a thousand tongues
No amount of time or words is enough to express the greatness of God's love and goodness

Are not enough to sing his praise
Language is limited in its ability to express the worthiness of God's praise

This is the art of celebration
Celebrating God's goodness and grace is a joyous and uplifting experience

Knowing were free from condemnation
We can rejoice because we have been set free from guilt and punishment

Who made an end to all my sin
God, through Jesus' sacrifice, has accomplished forgiveness and redemption of all my sins
