Who Could Stand

Russell Falls, Tasmania ~ by Ken Duncan

"If You, O Lord, kept a record of sins,
O Lord, who could stand?
But with you there is forgiveness;
therefore You are feared".


Psalm 130:3~4

Many years ago now (about 18?!) there was an Aussie Christian band, 'In The Silence'. They did a beautiful song based around this verse. I can't provide a link to the tune but here are the words:

I've been reaching
but falling from Your touch
Sometimes I fail You
Sometimes doubt You, my Lord.
I need Your forgiveness
I'm reaching for forgiveness.

If You remembered my sin
Who could stand?
No one. No, not me.
But You remember no more
the guilty and shame
from all the days of my life.
I know there's forgiveness with Thee.

I've been drowning
Shame surrounding my heart.
Search me. Change me.
Oh Lord, help me to start again.

Oh...rivers of love to me
Oh...rivers of love to me

You're all I need to make me clean.
You're all I need. Give me eyes to see
that You're all I need. Come fill my heart.
I know You've forgiven me.

If You remembered my sin
Who could stand?
No one. No, not me.
But I know there's forgiveness with Thee.
