CONDEMNATION FALLS AWAY
Never more to call on me
And I am clean
Yes I am clean
The powerful work of You in me
Breaks the chains of guilt and shame
And I am free
Yes I am free
I take them to Your cross
And leave them there
Captured by this grace
I’m free at last
It is the great gift of Your salvation
Working in me
Working in me
It is the life giving taste of heaven
Your kindness revealed
Your kindness revealed to me
Bridge:
It’s the greatest gift of all
It’s the greatest gift of all
It’s the greatest gift of all
Tag:
Your mercy’s falling down on me
Your mercy’s falling down on me
And I am clean
Yes I am clean
Matt Redman & Peter Wilson
