about

The hub of this song is Hebrews 12:2-3 which essentially comprise the chorus and the bridge. Leading into those sections, verse 1 borrows heavily from Philippians 2, while verse 2 borrows from (among others) Isaiah 64:6, Ephesians 2, 2 Corinthians 5:17, and several of the Great Commission verses.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Faithful Lord, never failing
Always true to Your Word.
Perfect God, never changing
Set apart, yet humble
Majesty, angels singing
All of this You exchanged
Put on flesh, took our torture
Murdered, You rose again

Chorus:
For the joy set before You
For the souls that You would save
For the sake of Your glory
Endured the cross, conquered the grave

Verse 2:
Nothing have we to offer
Our good works: filthy rags
We rest not on our merit
On Your grace we rely
Now reborn, new creation
All our sins washed away
Now we live life on mission
Till You come again someday

Bridge:
So we fix our eyes on You
And we lay aside ourselves
That we may not grow weary
That we may not lose heart
