Peter started this song completely in Dutch. We translated his ideas to English and worked to make them poetic and rhyming. - Elton, 21 June 2012
(Verse 1)
As we stand before Your throne
In You, Lord, we are one
Coming now before You, Lord
Brought here by Your Son
Your love has set us free
And that is why we're here
There's nothing more important
Than to come, and find You near
(Chorus)
It is the purest of grace that You've given us
It is the purest and highest love
May the sound of our praises never end
For Your hand is upon me
And You go before me
And your grace consumes me
Once again
For Your hand is upon me
And You go before me
And your grace consumes me
Once again
(Verse 2)
You died upon a cross
Buried in a tomb that day
Yet You overcame the power of death
And the stone was rolled away
Oh, Lord, You are so wonderful
In love, we turn to You
We know You'll never leave us, Lord
For Your promises are true
(Repeat Chorus)
It is the purest of grace that You've given us
It is the purest and highest love
May the sound of our praises never end
For Your hand is upon me
And You go before me
And your grace consumes me
Once again
For Your hand is upon me
And You go before me
And your grace consumes me
Once again
