Before the Father (It is Enough)

(Go here for lead sheets and chord charts.)

Lyrics

1. Before the Father
Two voices ever plead
Praying, interceding for us
Before the Father
They serve to meet our need,
Saying, “Look not on them but Us.”

Jesus stands, pleading His blood for us
The Spirit kneels, groaning in prayer for us
And the Father hears their cry

2. Before the Father,
With all our sin laid bare:
Jesus pleads His wounding for us.
Before the Father,
We have no good to share:
Jesus pleads His goodness for us.

Jesus stands, pleading His blood for us
The Spirit kneels, groaning in prayer for us
And the Father hears their cry

The death of Christ has paid our price
It is enough, it is enough
The life of Christ is now our life
It is enough, it is enough

3. Before the Father,
While orphans with no home:
The Spirit pleads adoption for us;
Before the Father,
When prayers, they fail to come:
The Spirit prays in power for us.

Jesus stands, pleading His blood for us
The Spirit kneels, groaning in prayer for us
And the Father hears their cry

The death of Christ has paid our price
It is enough, it is enough
The life of Christ is now our life
It is enough, it is enough

The Spirit’s sigh: our “Abba!” cry
It is enough, it is enough
The Spirit’s prayer forever there
It is enough it is enough

Your death, O Christ, has paid our price
You are enough, You are enough
Your life, O Christ, is now our life
You are enough, You are enough
