So many years I cried 'cause my soul deniedThat He would save a wretch like meSo full of gloom and dread that I hung my headI wouldn't claim the victoryThen one day His love like a winged doveSettled down upon my lifeAnd I realized he had authorizedMy ticket to paradiseOn the authority of the Holy WordI rise up and take my standI'm a blood bought child of the living GodWho is the Great I AmI'm an heir to all that heaven holdsAnd no principalityCan ever take away my royal crownGiven on His authorityIt's a mystery why He came to meWhy He would choose me for His ownWhy He pulled me out of the lake of doubtSet me right beside His throneWhy he guaranteed, with His seal decreedMy inheritance by rightI'm His favored child, and that makes me smileI'm the center of His delightOn the authority of the Holy WordI rise up and take my standI'm a blood bought child of the living GodWho is the Great I AmI'm an heir to all that heaven holdsAnd no principalityCan ever take away my royal crownGiven on His authorityOn the authority of the Holy WordI rise up and take my standI'm a blood bought child of the living GodWho is the Great I AmI'm an heir to all that heaven holdsAnd no principalityCan ever take away my royal crownGiven on His authorityI'm an heir to all that heaven holdsAnd no principalityCan ever take away my royal crownGiven on His authority
