The prolific Rend Collective have returned with another collection of songs.
I think in a time when there’s lots of scope for people to hear the voices of condemnation within that the song My Advocate expresses a helpful truth.
The lyrics:
1.
When the condemnation comes
When the enemy attacks
When the accusations gather like a storm
I remember what You’ve done
You remind me who I am
And I claim the victory Your blood has won
Chorus.
Oh, You are my righteousness
You rush to my defense
You are my advocate
How You fight for me and
Oh, You’ve never failed me yet
Your promises are yes
You are my advocate
How You fight for me Lord
2.
No, I won’t accept defeat
At the hands of guilt and shame
Or these burdens that I’ve carried far too long
All of Satan’s empty threats
Have been conquered by the cross
You declare me innocent before the throne
And I claim the victory Your blood has won
Chorus.
Bridge.
Hallelujah, You champion my cause
Hallelujah, You right my every wrong
Hallelujah, who could ever stand against
Jesus Christ the Lamb of God
My advocate
