About this Hymn
A desire to sing the words "Christ is all my righteousness" inspired a search through forgotten and overlooked hymns of history—treasures that help believers proclaim the truth of being clothed in the righteousness of Jesus. Drawing from these rich threads, this hymn weaves together a chord of timeless truth, enabling us to sing of Christ's righteousness with renewed depth and wonder. – Matt Boswell
Lyrics
Verse 1
Run and run, the law demands, but gives me neither feet nor hands. Better news the gospel brings. It bids me fly, it gives me wings.
Chorus
Praise the Lord! O my soul, praise the Lord! Now and forevermore my heart confess Christ is all my righteousness, Christ is all my righteousness.
Verse 2
Bearing shame and all my sin, there in my place he stood condemned. Here I stand now justified. My guilt is his, his grace is mine.
Verse 3
My accuser, he may roar of countless sins that I have done. These I know and thousands more. Behold, my God, he knows not one.
Verse 4
When I stand before the throne, there dressed in beauty not my own, then, Lord, shall I fully know not till that day how much I owe.
