Christ Is Our Righteousness
By Mike Erich
To the tune of “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name” (Diadem)
Now Christ, He is our righteousness,
The Lamb for sinners slain,
Clothes us in perfect heavenly dress,
Free from all sin and stain.
Clothes us in perfect heavenly dress,
Free from all sin and stain.
Our finest deeds are filthy rags;
No goodness is our own.
All our attempts to pay the price
For sin could not atone.
All our attempts to pay the price
For sin could not atone.
For we are born of Adam’s seed,
Captive to sin and death.
And though we try God’s law to heed,
We fail with every breath.
And though we try God’s law to heed,
We fail with every breath.
But our in-i-qui-ties Christ bore,
For our transgressions died.
To cover sin the blood did pour
Out from His wounded side.
To cover sin the blood did pour
Out from His wounded side.
He holds the keys to death and hell
And triumphed o'er the grave.
Through Him the realm of Satan fell
And endless life He gave.
Through Him the realm of Satan fell
And endless life He gave.
He satisfied the law we spurned,
Our guilt on Him was laid.
From us the wrath of God was turned
And all our ransom paid.
From us the wrath of God was turned
And all our ransom paid.
He did our righteousness declare
Before His Father’s throne.
No condemnation now we share
Who are found in the Son.
No condemnation now we share
Who are found in the Son.
