First place, That’s what You deserve

Wounded for my sins, Broken for my hurt

First place, Healer of my wounds

Lover of my soul, First place

.

How can I deny a love so deep and wide?

How can I refuse Your love?

How can I deny a love so deep and wide?

How can I refuse Your love?

.

Your grace, That’s what I received

Long before I heard, Long before I knew

Your grace, Poured out over me

Mercy over me, Your grace!

How can I deny a love so deep and wide?

How can I refuse Your love?

How can I deny a love so deep and wide?

How can I refuse Your love?

First place, That’s what You deserve

You’re the one I love, You’re the one I’ll serve

First place, Ruler of my heart

Master of my life, First place!

Holy Spirit, work within me,
Prideful, selfish as I am
Full of broken, vain ambition
Full of every rebel plan
Let the love and grace of Jesus
Be my focus, be my goal
Burn within me, cleanse me, change me,
Make me holy, make me whole.

.

You are light and truth and beauty
Every good and noble dream
But you once walked earth among us
Tempted, tested as I am.
I surrender, I surrender
Be my beacon burning bright
Live within me, cleanse me, change me,
Be my Master, be my light!

.

Holy Spirit, work within me,
Let the love of Christ shine through
Sweeten every ugly impulse
Till in me the world sees you.
Let your fragrance, let your beauty,
Let your grace flow from my soul
Burn within me, cleanse me, change me,
Make me holy, make me whole.

Today I Fall Upon Your Grace

.

You are my hope and confidence for this unsteady day

While other hopes are few and weak, which shine but fade away

I need a rock, an anchoring place

Today I fall upon Your grace.

.

You are the ancient remedy, the everlasting cure

Deep in my soul I rise, convinced this remedy is sure

I need a rock, a healing place

Today I fall upon Your grace.

.

You are the chosen sacrifice, You are the spotless Lamb,

There on a distant lonely hill You bore the sins of man

You are my Rock, my saving place

Today I fall upon Your grace.

.

You are my steady Comforter, closer than my next breath

Your mighty arms will carry me beyond the pains of death

You are my Rock, my hiding place

Today I fall upon Your grace.

.
