Holy is the Lord, seated on His throne The God of glory thunders His justice has no flaw, his wrath a stunning fire The heavens hail His splendor But we are simple flesh, and frail Powerless to stand Like morning mist erased by noon The labor of our hands
We are broken, lost Desperate for Your grace Staggered by Your glory Til we look on the cross And find You in our place We find Your love is boundless Your mercy boundless, free
A heavy shadow falls from Sinai mount of old We hear the dark clouds rumble And trembling from afar, the law upon our backs We struggle and we stumble We’re shamed by our unfaithfulness And having none to blame We see the good we cannot do And work for it in vain
We are broken, lost Desperate for Your grace Staggered by Your glory Til we look on the cross And find You in our place We find Your love is boundless Your mercy boundless, free
All we could not do, our Great High Priest has done In death and resurrection All the law demands, full satisfied By Christ in His perfection And though our sin did once abound You grace abounded more You gave to us Your righteousness And called our sorrow Yours We are broken, lost Desperate for Your grace Staggered by Your glory Til we look on the cross And find You in our place We find Your love is boundless Your mercy boundless, free
