This sung by the Penny Merchants is beautiful.

I like the words, too. But the melody is beautiful and haunting.

Lovely song. Thank You Father, Jesus xxxxx

In the third verse, despair is mentioned as a device used by the enemy to use our own personal doubts and fears to feel weak and hopeless. I treasure these words because they remind me there is no despair with the risen Jesus. He can and does wipe away the darkness within me.

There is another tune; a modern setting by Vikki Cook. It is published in several hymnals. I would guess that many folks think this is a new hymn.
Dunedin, New Zealand
God was moved with love to send His Son to die for us, and Ephesians mentions that we are saved by grace, but the foundation of our salvation is righteousness. Because of God's righteousness, even if He stopped loving us, or decided to withhold His grace, He is bound by His righteousness to forgive us.
We sinned, and because of God's righteousness, God could not forgive us.
He died, and because of God's righteousness, God *must* forgive us.
The gospel is the power of God unto salvation, because the righteousness of God is revealed in it.
Dunedin, New Zealand
Reply to previous comments: This hymn is often sung to the tune, "sweet hour of prayer". I prefer that tune for this hymn. It is a very famous tune, I recommend you search for it on Google. It is not available on hymnal.net as far as I know.

Are you thinking of the one by Selah?
London, United Kingdom
I think that this is a great hymn, but there is another tune. Does anyone know what it is called? And please could it be played to the hymn? Thank you.
