No Righteousness of Mine

This is a hymn by the contemporary American hymnwriter Neil Barham which was sung at my baptism service six months ago.
It is full of truth and expresses Christ's atoning power in ways which are -I think - best expressed in song.
We need more hymns like this

Tune: Darwell's 148 (66.66.448)

No righteousness of mine
Can stand before the Throne,
But Christ’s own perfect works are now my very own!
In Christ I’m free!
The Cross of Christ made peace with God for even me!

The holy law of God
That once declared my death
Now whispers “All is well” with Jesus’ dying breath!
Once dead, now raised!
His glorious Cross puts Death to death! Let Christ be praised!

Now Sinai holds no fear!
Its fiery curses fade,
Outshined by rays of grace in Calv’ry’s love displayed!
In worship, fall!
Adore the Son of God whose outpoured blood heals all!

Trinity

This is a hymn I wrote in response to hearing Nathan Fellingham talk about the writing process for the Trinity album during the UCCF Forum Conference. It is based around a doxology by Isaac Watts which forms the first and last verses.

To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Be honour, praise, and glory giv'n,
By all on earth and all in heav'n.

Father God, King and Lord of lords,
You made the earth with your own Word.
The heav'ns resound with Your glory,
And we are made in your image.

Jesus Christ, God who came to earth,
What myst'ry of the virgin birth.
You gave your life to cover sins,
And rose again that we might live.

Spirit, You fill our hearts with pow'r,
You help us know Him more and more.
Set us apart to fear our God
And speak the gospel through our lives.

To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Be honour, praise, and glory giv'n,
By all on earth and all in heav'n.
