Today’s post is a modern song from The Worship Initiative, Initially founded by Shane & Shane as an online equipping resource for worship leaders and churches. It has since grown into a thriving community of singers, musicians, songwriters, and theologians seeking to help the Church worship God with music that is artistically compelling and scripturally sound. I really love this song that simply tells of the work that Christ did on the cross, sufficient to pay the debt we owed because of our sin – praise the Lord! Enjoy this one.
All sufficient merit
Shining like the sun
A fortune I inherit
By no work I have done
My righteousness I forfeit
At my Savior’s cross
Where all sufficient merit
Did what I could not
In love He condescended
Eternal now in time
A life without a blemish
The Maker made to die
The law could never save us
Our lawlessness had won
Until the pure and spotless
Lamb had finally come
Refrain
It is done it is finished
No more debt I owe
Paid in full all sufficient
Merit now my own
I lay down my garments
Any empty boasts
Good works all corrupted
By the sinful host
Dressed in my Lord Jesus
A crimson robe made white
No more fear of judgement
His righteousness is mine
Refrain
All sufficient merit
Firm in life and death
The joy of my salvation
Shall be my final breath
When I stand accepted
Before the throne of God
I’ll gaze upon my Jesus
And thank Him for the cross
Refrain
Hymn of the Day
