Just as I am one only plea In that the blood once shed was shed for me And drew me to a covenant place Where I found mercy in the year of grace No condemnation now for me Your Word has touched my heart and now I see In Heaven stands to plead my case The One who found me in the year of grace O Son of God sweet Son of Man The Author of redemption's plan Eternal God in time and space O keep me ever in the year of grace I hear Your voice my soul awakes Your whispered words have stirred my heart to praise On love unbound I fix my gaze Where I first saw You in the year of grace In life in d**h whom shall I fear Closer than breath I feel You near Oh hold me in Your strong embrace Where I find rest within the year of grace
