I Rest My Case Lyrics

Well, I have sinned

And fallen short

Of the glory of the Lord

And I don't deserve

What He offers

Forgiveness for sinners

But here, oh, I stand

I've been made a new man

And on His Word I rest my case

He has saved me by His grace

So, does that mean

That I should sin

That grace abounds, oh, God forbid

For this life I live

It is not mine

I am dead, but Christ is alive

And here, oh, I stand

I've been made a new man

And on His Word I rest my case

He has saved me by His grace

And I have found I'm no better

Than another sinful man

I have seen by my strength

I could never, ever win

So, I've placed all my hope

On the One who has prevailed

Over sin, over death, over hell

And here, oh, I stand

I've been made a new man

And on His Word I rest my case

He has saved me by His grace

Yes, Jesus saved me by His grace
