So many years I cried, 'cause my soul denied
that He would save a wretch like me
So full of gloom and dread that I hung my head
I wouldn't claim the victory
Then one day His love, like a winged dove
settled down upon my life
and I realized he had authorized
my ticket to paradise


CHORUS
On the authority of the Holy Word
I rise up and take my stand
I'm the blood bought child of the living God
Who is the great "I AM"
I'm the heir to all that Heaven holds
and no principality
can ever take away my royal crown
Given on the authority
It's a mystery why He came to me
Why He would choose me for His own
Why He pulled me out of the Lake of Doubt
Set me right beside His throne
Why He guaranteed with His sealed decree
My inheritence by right
I'm His favorite child and that makes me smile
I'm the center of His delight
REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS but go up 3 steps:
REPEAT 2ND HALF OF CHORUS ONLY TO END
