What Jesus Christ has done for me? Accepted in the Beloved.

[Spoken Intro, deep male, close mic, low organ drone] I was lost. I was broken. I could never make myself acceptable to God. But grace had another answer. Not what I had done. Not what I could become. But what Jesus Christ had done for me. Accepted in the Beloved. [Verse 1, mid-tempo arena rock, restrained] I walked through the shadows, carrying shame A heart full of failure, a life full of blame I tried to be worthy, I tried to be strong But I couldn't erase all the things I had done Then mercy came calling, when I had no claim The love of the Father called out my name Not earned by my goodness, not bought by my tears His grace had been working throughout all my years [Pre-Chorus, rising, drums open up] I didn't make it, I couldn't earn it Jesus paid the price, and grace confirmed it The old life is buried, the debt has been paid I stand in the promise His mercy has made [Chorus, explosive, full band, gang vocals, choir stacks] Accepted, accepted, accepted in the Beloved Not by my power, not by my name Jesus has covered my sin and my shame Accepted, accepted, by the blood of the Son The battle is over, the victory won I stand in His righteousness, accepted in the Beloved [Verse 2, same groove, slightly bigger] My sins were a mountain I could never climb My guilt stood against me, my debt marked the time But Christ bore the burden, the judgment, the cost He came for the ruined, the broken, the lost No sham righteousness, no counterfeit crown His perfect obedience has brought my pride down The righteousness given through faith in His name Has silenced the accuser and canceled my shame [Pre-Chorus] I didn't make it, I couldn't earn it Jesus paid the price, and grace confirmed it No more condemnation, no debt left unpaid I rest in the promise His mercy has made [Chorus, bigger, choir answers the lead] Accepted, accepted, accepted in the Beloved Not by my power, not by my name Jesus has covered my sin and my shame Accepted, accepted, by the blood of the Son The battle is over, the victory won I stand in His righteousness, accepted in the Beloved [Breakdown, half-time, deep male, almost spoken, toms only] You don't earn the Father's favor by the strength of your own hand You don't purchase your forgiveness by the best works you have planned It is grace from the beginning, it is Christ who makes us clean And the wonder of the Gospel: we are accepted in Him [Bridge, call and response, building to full band] Who has made us accepted? God by His grace Who has borne our sin and shame? Jesus, our Savior Whose righteousness is ours by faith? Christ our Redeemer What is our hope when troubles come? Accepted in the Beloved [Guitar Solo, soaring, sixteen bars, choir aaahs underneath] [Final Chorus, maximum, full choir, key lift] Accepted, accepted, accepted in the Beloved Not by my power, not by my name Jesus has covered my sin and my shame Accepted, accepted, by the blood of the Son The battle is over, the victory won His grace has done what I could not have done Accepted, accepted, let every redeemed heart sing My hope is in Jesus, my praise is my King Through every sorrow, through every flood I stand forgiven through Jesus' blood Accepted, accepted, accepted in the Beloved [Outro, strong, then spoken over a held chord] Not because I was worthy. Not because I was strong. Not because I earned it. But because I belong to Jesus Christ. Accepted in the Beloved.
