Standing on holy ground
Mercy and grace I’ve found
I’m here before Your throne now
By a new and living way
Jesus I come to You
I lift up my eyes to You
How You’ve comforted me
And now I long to see Your face
You are my strength, my song
You are my shield, my Redeemer
You are my hope, my salvation,
And my God
I’ll always bring my praise to You O God
You are my strength, my song
You are my shield, my Redeemer
You are my hope, my salvation,
And my God
So I will sing to You
Beautiful things You have done
Great is Your name in Zion, holy One
I’ll always bring my praise to You
I’ll always bring my praise to You
I’ll always bring my praise to You, O God
Paul Oakley & Martin Cooper
