hymn #12 2026 - boundless measure (B) (Alto Session)

beneath the righteous law of god, my guilty spirit lay i sought to hide my wretched heart, and turn my eyes away. before the ancient light awoke, or earth was placed above the sovereign maker of the stars, decreed my soul to love. though deeply i hate the person i was so long ago the boundless measure of his grace is more than i can know. the ashes of my former life, i gladly leave behind for the spirit now groans with me for daily a renewed mind. though deeply i hate the person i was so long ago the boundless measure of his grace is more than i can know. the ashes of my former life, i gladly leave behind for the spirit now groans with me for daily a renewed mind. i have no righteousness to bring, no empty works to show but christ the spotless offering, has paid the debt i owe. he drew me from the miry clay, and gave my spirit breath he washed my crimson sins away, and rescued me from death. though deeply i hate the person i was so long ago the boundless measure of his grace is more than i can know. the ashes of my former life, i gladly leave behind for the spirit now groans with me for daily a renewed mind. my hope is built on christ the lord, my rock and hiding place rest upon his holy word, and his electing grace.
