I Need the Gospel Lyrics

I need the Gospel

On my best and worst days

To be reminded

Of my guilt and Your grace

Both when I've triumphed

And when I've fallen on my face

My only hope remains

That Jesus took my place

He lived the life we could never live

He paid the debt we could never pay

He rose again, we rise in Him

For all we need, forevermore

We look to Him

I need the Gospel

When I'm trusting my deeds

Even my best works

Had You nailed to the tree

So when I'm standing

Lord keep me humbled to my knees

My only stand remains

That Jesus stood for me

I need the Gospel

When I stumble in sin

When shame surrounds me

And I'm fearful within

When the accuser

Is digging up my past again

Show me my Advocate

The sinner's faithful Friend

Before the throne of God

To plead for me, He stands

(Oh, He stands)
