on my behalf

For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.

Hebrews 9:24

On my behalf Christ now appears

in heaven interceding

with His blood my covering

His righteousness is pleading

…on my behalf

For my sake Jesus rose again

my new life God’s intention

now forgiven I will know

my own resurrection

…for my sake

In my place Jesus bore my sin

dying on that cruel cross

bearing my sin, my sorrow, my guilt and shame

and suffering all my loss

…in my place

For my debt my Savior bore

a cross up Calvary

and in my stead He took the nails

that were meant for me

…for my debt

In His steps I will follow

loving, dying, living, victorious Lord

His voice directs me, His hands lead me

I follow truth by His Word

…in His steps
