Through Christ my Sacrifice, Who is My Own (Second Revision)

As I have continued to ponder the glory of Christ and continue to review the words of this song given to me whereby we His people can magnify Him and bring glory to His name, it occurred to me that there may be those who would misunderstand the language of the first chorus. As there is no glory of which compares even in the remotest of ways to the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, I trust that it will be perfectly understood that any glory that I may lay claim to is not my own but that which is excellent and proceeds from Him, through Him, and to Him for His Own Name's sake alone. It is Christ Who is the spotless, perfect, sacrifice of God, and by grace through faith in His blood, He is my sacrifice, whereby I am justified before God the Father, and He is satisfied with the sacrifice of His Son!

O LORD, in your strength the king rejoices, and in your salvation how greatly he exults! You have given him his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips.

Selah

For you meet him with rich blessings; you set a crown of fine gold upon his head. He asked life of you; you gave it to him, length of days forever and ever. His glory is great through your salvation; splendor and majesty you bestow on him. For you make him most blessed forever; you make him glad with the joy of your presence. For the king trusts in the LORD, and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved. Psalm 21:1-7

Here is the new Closing Chorus (Higher octave)

In Christ I'm justified,
My soul is free.
In Christ God's satisfied
And pleased with me.
Before my Father's throne
His glory will be shown
Through Christ my sacrifice
Who Is my own.

Complete New Version

"Through Christ my Sacrifice, Who is my Own"

The Father willed to give,
His Son that I might live.
For wrath and sin atoned,
Through Him, I now am owned.

Though wretched vile within,
His blood now covers sin,
And all I am is His;
Through Christ Alone!

(Chorus 1)
In Christ I'm justified,My soul is free.
In Christ I'm satisfied,God's pleased with me.
Before my Father's throne,
My glory will be shown,
Through Christ my sacrifice,
Who is my own!

My secret sins He sees,
And brings me to my knees.
His Spirit intercedes,
Supplies for all my needs.
To Him I now will cling,
And all my days I'll sing.
Give glory to my God,
Through Christ alone!

(Chorus 2)
In Christ I'm justified!
I've been set free.
In Christ I'm satisfied.
He's ransomed me!
To stand before the throne
Because of Him, be known.
Sweet Christ my Sacrifice,
He is my own.

His presence now with me,
To Him, all glory be.
His grace now makes me stand,
He leads me by His hand.
His holiness in me,
Perfected I will be.
My Hope, no shame I'll have,
Through Christ alone!

(Chorus 3)
In Christ I'm justified!
He's made me free.
In Christ I'm satisfied.
Like Him I'll be!
One day, before the throne
His glory will be shown.
For Christ my Sacrifice,
Is now my own!

(Closing Chorus - Higher Octave)
In Christ I'm justified,
My soul is free.
In Christ God's satisfied
And pleased with me.
Before my Father's throne
His glory will be shown
Through Christ my sacrifice
Who Is my own.
