Boldly I Approach

Verse I

By grace alone somehow I stand

Where even angels fear to tread

Invited by redeeming love

Before the throne of God above

He pulls me close with nail-scarred hands

Into His everlasting arms

 

Verse II

When condemnation grips my heart

And Satan tempts me to despair

I hear the voice that scatters fear

The Great I am the Lord is here

Oh praise the One who fights for me

And shields my soul eternally

 

Chorus

Boldly I approach Your throne

Blameless now I’m running home

By Your blood I come

Welcomed as Your own

Into the arms of majesty

 

Verse III

Behold the bright and risen Son

More beauty than this world has known

I’m face to face with Love Himself

His perfect spotless righteousness

A thousand years, a thousand tongues

Are not enough to sing His praise

 

Chorus

Boldly I approach Your throne

Blameless now I’m running home

By Your blood I come

Welcomed as Your own

Into the arms of majesty

 

Bridge

This is the art of celebration

Knowing we’re free from condemnation

Oh praise the One, praise the One

Who made an end to all my sin

This is the art of celebration

Knowing we’re free from condemnation

Oh praise the One, praise the One

Who made an end to all my sin

 

Chorus

Boldly I approach Your throne

Blameless now I’m running home

By Your blood I come

Welcomed as Your own

Into the arms of majesty
