| So many years I cried 'cause my soul denied
|
| That He would save a wretch like me
|
| So full of gloom and dread that I hung my head
|
| I wouldn’t claim the victory
|
| Then one day His love like a winged dove
|
| Settled down upon my life
|
| And I realized he had authorized
|
| My ticket to paradise
|
| On the authority of the Holy Word
|
| I rise up and take my stand
|
| I’m a blood bought child of the living God
|
| Who is the Great I Am
|
| I’m an heir to all that heaven holds
|
| And no principality
|
| Can ever take away my royal crown
|
| Given on His authority
|
| It’s a mystery why He came to me
|
| Why He would choose me for His own
|
| Why He pulled me out of the lake of doubt
|
| Set me right beside His throne
|
| Why he guaranteed, with His seal decreed
|
| My inheritance by right
|
| I’m His favored child, and that makes me smile
|
| I’m the center of His delight
|
| On the authority of the Holy Word
|
| I rise up and take my stand
|
| I’m a blood bought child of the living God
|
| Who is the Great I Am
|
| I’m an heir to all that heaven holds
|
| And no principality
|
| Can ever take away my royal crown
|
| Given on His authority
|
| On the authority of the Holy Word
|
| I rise up and take my stand
|
| I’m a blood bought child of the living God
|
| Who is the Great I Am
|
| I’m an heir to all that heaven holds
|
| And no principality
|
| Can ever take away my royal crown
|
| Given on His authority
|
| I’m an heir to all that heaven holds
|
| And no principality
|
| Can ever take away my royal crown
|
| Given on His authority |
