Our Defense
Without the perfect presence of the Lamb of Calvary
No one could stand in judgement with the hope of God's mercy
No one would have an Offering to bear in sacrifice
The guilt and condemnation of our sinfulness and vice
But there for this defendant stands the One Who died for me
The One Who rose again to life and raised captivity
To give to us assurance of His power over death
And of the resurrection when He comes to raise the rest
Whom now He is defending in the court of God above
As He cries, “here my Father through the virtue of My Blood
Is yet another child of Mine who's put his trust in Me
And who by grace through living faith deserves eternity
As one with us in Glory where the saints of God will shine
Where all will wear those perfect robes as proof that they are Mine
Where those with sin once branded will receive another name
Reflective of their character that like Me is the same
In how they live to share Me with the ones that would be Mine
The ones they daily chance to meet they could not leave behind
But rather seek an avenue through which to share Our love
To point them from their harried past to what We have above”
That's waiting now in readiness in mansions pure and white
Along the golden streets that cross that City bathed in light
Where only praise and glory will be known by the redeemed
Who daily walk in paths of light with Him they have esteemed
For now is our redemption now is when we must prepare
To show through our confession to the world how much we care
And want to be like Jesus Who gave all He could for us
In sacrifice upon the cross that we in Him could trust
That now as He stands pleading in behalf of you and me
And shines His light on scriptures that He knows we need to see
We must with firm commitment seek what He would have us find
And there receive the seal of Truth that leaves the past behind
And molds in us His image fashions us to be like Him
To lift the faint and fallen to the life He's made for them
That all might come together who've embraced His victory
As one with Him forever to rejoice eternally
Revelation 5; 2;17; John 14:1-3
