O Father, once again we come
Broken, humbled, craving rest
Once again, we approach Your throne
Once again, Your name we bless
Not by our works, oh no
O Lord, not by our deeds
Not by our own fragile strength
Have we secured the right to bend the knee
We come by the blood our Savior shed
We come by the life He purchased in death
We come by the hope He forever secured
We come by the grace that always endures
Not by our own strength, oh no
Lord not by our own prowess
Only by Your might, O Lord
Can we kneel, and praise, and bless
So Lord take our hearts
Though feeble a gift they be
Take our very life and breath
Bend them wholly unto Thee
Not our own will, oh no
O Lord, not our own dreams
Your will and Your glory
Not ours but Yours, O Sovereign King
Towers crumble
Nations rage
But You remain
King o’er the ages
And so we rise
Go about our daily deeds
Keenly aware of Your sustaining care
And our own desperate, daily needs
