About this Hymn
The modern hymn from Shane & Shane highlights the contrast between human insufficiency and Christ's perfect righteousness, emphasizing that his merit alone secures our standing before God. It reflects on the futility of striving for salvation through personal effort and celebrates instead the finished work of Jesus. The rich, gospel-centered lyrics invite worshipers to rest in Christ's righteousness, rejoicing in the unearned inheritance of his salvation.
Lyrics
Verse 1
All sufficient merit, shining like the sun, a fortune I inherit by no work I have done. My righteousness I forfeit at my Savior's cross, where all sufficient merit did what I could not.
Chorus
It is done, it is finished, no more debt I owe; paid in full, all sufficient merit now my own.
Verse 2
In love, he condescended, eternal now in time; a life without a blemish, the Maker made to die. The law could never save us, our lawlessness had won; until the pure and spotless Lamb had finally come.
Verse 3
I lay down my garments, any empty boast, good works now all corrupted by the sinful host I'm dressed in my Lord Jesus, a crimson robe made white. No more fear of judgment, his righteousness is mine.
Verse 4
All sufficient merit, firm in life and death; the joy of my salvation shall be my final breath. And when I stand accepted before the throne of God, I'll gaze upon my Jesus and thank him for the cross.
