A debtor to mercy alone
When time's no more and the eternal future has
begun.
When I stand before the throne of God, The Almighty One.
When this mortal body has put on immortality.
Then, shall I fully know how much my Lord has done for me.
When earth is no more and a new creation's taken place.
When I enter heavens glory by His wonderful grace.
When the glorious face of my Lord Jesus Christ I see.
Then, shall I fully know how much my Lord has done for me.
When I stand there clothed in a righteousness not my own.
When I sing with all the angels gathered around His throne
When I join with unnumbered saints in wondrous harmony.
Then, shall I fully know how much my Lord has done for me.
