Everyday my attempts to be holy fail.
Everyday my attempts to be righteousness pale.
Only in Him, His Holiness covers me.
Only in Him, His righteousness makes me free.
With God’s gift of salvation comes these gifts.
Only in His Love, the Savior changes my grift.

One Man took my place and all of my disgrace.
The Son of Man, the Son of God and my redemption.
He in me changes everything my attempts could not.
When I have no argument, He is my only exemption.
What can I say then, He is my only acceptable holiness.
What can I say then, He is my much-needed righteousness.

Pure religion is to ease the suffering of orphans and widows,
Having morals and adhering to those morals and His righteousness.
The world may change morality to fit the winds of their politics.
The righteous in Christ cannot change what the Lord has already done.
His morals cannot be laid aside by those who call theirs’s by His fame.
Righteous politics belongs to the Lord who gives the right to His name.
