Our Righteousness

Our Righteousness
(Jacob McGowen)

1st Verse:
In ancient days
They built their altars
On which they offered sacrifice
For forgiveness or provision
Or just the chance to stay alive

But, there was someone that they longed for
A victor of the grave and sin
And when they came to know the Savior
Unashamed, they sang to Him

CHORUS:
He brings peace alone
He brings life from death
Jesus Christ, alone
Is our righteousness
Our righteousness
REPEAT 2X

2nd Verse:
Nowadays, it is our battle
To have a job and make ends meet
To find a place, to have some purpose
Or just a moment of relief

Yet, He who died on that dark Friday
Rose from the grave and lives today
And from on Earth and up in Heaven
He yearns for all of us to say…
He yearns for all of us to say…

REPEAT CHORUS 2X

BRIDGE:
Soon the tides will fall
The seas will settle
Soon He will return
And part the skies!
And when that day arrives
He’ll end our struggles
And wipe the flood of tears
From all our eyes!

REPEAT CHORUS
