Boldly I Approach
The Rend Collective Lyrics

By grace alone somehow I stand
I am only able to stand before God because of His grace towards me, even though I am unworthy.

Where even angels fear to tread
Even the greatest and most holy beings, the angels, approach God with fear and reverence.

Invited by redeeming love
God has invited me to approach Him because of His love that has redeemed me.

Before the throne of God above
I am standing before God's throne, in His presence.

He pulls me close with nail-scarred hands
Jesus, who bore the scars from His crucifixion, holds me close to Him.

Into His everlasting arms
I am held securely in God's loving and eternal embrace.

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 lose hope or give up.

I hear the voice that scatters fear
I hear God's voice, which dispels my fear and gives me courage.

The Great I Am the Lord is here
God, who is all-powerful and infinitely holy, is present with me.

Oh praise the One who fights for me
I praise God who is my defender and protector.

And shields my soul eternally
God is my shield and protector forever.

Boldly I approach Your throne
I am unafraid to come before God's throne because of His invitation and love.

Blameless now I'm running home
Jesus has made me blameless before God, and I am now running towards my eternal home with Him.

By Your blood I come
I am able to approach God's throne because of the sacrifice of Jesus' blood, which has forgiven my sins.

Welcomed as Your own
God has welcomed me into His family as His beloved child.

Into the arms of majesty
I am embraced by the majesty and glory of God's presence.

Behold the bright and risen Son
Look and see the brilliant light of the Son of God who has risen from the dead.

More beauty than this world has known
Jesus is more beautiful and glorious than anything in this world.

I'm face to face with Love Himself
I am in direct, personal contact with God's love, which is embodied in Jesus.

His perfect spotless righteousness
Jesus is completely pure and without any sin or blemish.

A thousand years, a thousand tongues
Even if I had a thousand years or a thousand languages, I would still not be able to fully express my gratitude and praise to God.

Are not enough to sing His praise
God's greatness and love are too vast to be fully described or praised, no matter how long I try.

This is the art of celebration
To celebrate and rejoice in God's love and saving grace towards me.

Knowing we're free from condemnation
Knowing that God has forgiven all of my sins and I am no longer burdened by guilt or condemnation.

Oh praise the One, praise the One
Praise God, the One who has saved me and given me eternal life.

Who made an end to all my sin
Jesus has put an end to my sin and given me the gift of salvation.
