about

2011. Based on a spontaneous song sung at City Church Cambridge, October 2009.

lyrics

You are holy
One and only
You are perfect
Spotless purity
Who can come to
Stand before you?
Who can dare come
Near your holy throne?

Only he who has clean hands
Only he who has a pure heart
So I know I cannot stand
Cannot stand before the Father

Jesus, your righteousness
Has covered us with kindness
Jesus, we love to
Bow our lives before you
And hide our hearts in you

We are empty
Christ is fullness
We are dirty
He’s unstained by sin
We are broken
He was broken
He was torn so
We could be made whole

Only Jesus has clean hands
Only Jesus has a pure heart
Only Jesus Christ can stand
He can stand before his Father

Only through Jesus (x3)
We come

Only Jesus has clean hands
Only Jesus has a pure heart
So through Jesus’ blood we come
We can stand before our Father
