Lyrics
The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:>Chorus:
I am a new creation,
No more in condemnation,
Here in the grace of God I stand.
My heart is overflowing,
My love just keeps on growing,
Here in the grace of God I stand.
1. And I will praise You Lord,
Yes I will praise You Lord,
And I will sing of all that You have done.
2. A joy that knows no limit,
A lightness in my spirit,
Here in the grace of God I stand.
