Thank you Lord for watchin' over us
We get impatient and make a fuss
But because of your grace and love
We've got a place awaiting us up above

We all must stand, before Your throne
We trust not man, but in Your love alone
It was your plan to make for us a home
You sent your lamb, who for sin atoned

Your mercy covers me, and in my mind I know
My sin was crimson, now I'm whiter than snow
We all must stand -- before your throne
It was your plan, to make for us a home

We all must stand before Your throne
We trust not man, but Your love alone
It was your plan to make for us a home
You sent your lamb, who for sin atoned
 
Thank you Lord for Your grace and your love
And for your Spirit that descends like a dove
Help us show grace, not condemn or judge
We've got a place, awaiting us up above

You've made for us a place
We're redeemed n saved
It's a free gift from God
Not by deeds, but by faith

So open up Your gates
We run to win the race
Thank You for Your love
And Your amazing grace

You've made for us a place
So open up your gates
We run to win the race
Can't wait to see Your face

You've made for us a place
Can't wait to see Your face
You've made for us a place
Can't wait to see Your face
