I approach the throne of glory
Nothing in my hands I bring
But the promise of acceptance
From a good and gracious King

I will give to You my burden
As You give to me Your strength
Come and fill me with Your Spirit
As I sing to You this praise

You deserve the greater glory
Overcome, I lift my voice
To the King in need of nothing
Empty handed I rejoice

You deserve the greater glory
Overcome with joy I sing
By Your love I am accepted
You’re a good and gracious King

O what grace that You would see me
As Your child and as Your friend
Safe, secure in You forever
I pour out my praise again

Holy, holy, Lord Almighty
Good and gracious
Good and gracious
Holy, holy, Lord Almighty
Good and gracious King

This was our wedding song in April 2023. God bless you all and your families in Jesus mighty name.

Just reading others comments and stories make me weep with joy! Thank you for bringing people together with biblical song

[rikcrampton]

I am 60 years old and I love your Christ-centered, Christ exalting music! By God’s grace may you always bring Him glory and edify the saints.

I am tearing up. Jesus saved me 2 two years ago from the deepest and darkest pit. He took me out of it AND placed my feet on solid ground, Jesus Christ!

When I read this:

I approach the throne of glory
Nothing in my hands I bring
But the promise of acceptance
From a good and gracious King

Wow! I can't help but wonder how beautiful and BIBLICALLY-based the lyrics are! Thank you for making music that reflects God's Word. Our Only Source and The Only Source of Eternal Life!

Every time I listen to CityAlight, I always feel like crying - even straight weeping most times. Their songs are so simple and yet so on point! Too often the recent worship songs have become too self-focused. Praise God for this band for drawing worship back to the only One who deserves it - our good and gracious God and King!

My therapist song am going through depression but this song keeps me moving

[lallian]

My favorite Christian band for me because of the way they sing and perform, the music, the lyrics and the sound theology they emphasize in the lyrics. Keep on pursuing Him and His glory alone, guys.

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

[lawrencechinoona]

This is the true message of the gospel, all of him and nothing about us. Enjoying the inheritance based on the assurance of his gracious love.

I love the line, "to the King in need of nothing, empty handed I rejoice"... solid forever true... and the melody brings tears...

[sarahbuehlmann]

I left all the faith movement and prosperity worship songs because i want to worship Our Lord Jesus Christ in Spirit and in truth as i asked the Holy Spirit to lead, guide and show me "The Truth that set me free", since then i listen to your praise and worship as i found it during my fighting with covid-19, listen and listen over and over the time of the struggling. Peace and Grace from our Father and from Jesus Christ are with you all.
Greetings from Switzerland

3:45 - "Holy, holy, Lord Almighty Good and gracious." Just love that line!❤❤❤❤

[arnold-ze]

Praise be to Jesus Christ i have seen Him in my highs and lows

[bradleymcdonald]

It saddens me that so many have been fooled in their pride to not accept that they are sinners... It's a hard pill to swallow but it's reward is HIM!
You don't have to fight alone, we can have victory in His Name

My God and My King... Thank you for protecting me and Thank you for the times I don't see it and forget to thank you and yet you still bless me with Mercy

[Apriluser]

CityAlight is part of an Anglican Church so they/we have a rich theological history that we are able to draw from. There are deep wells to draw from, thanks be to God!

[MartynHall-xc]

I got a touch from the lord with this song. I was in a Christian rehab nd we had Chapel every morning nd on Saturday we decided to just have a worship instead of sermon. The spirit came down nd I was in tears, powerful stuff. Praise God 👏 🙌

[HughJackmanMichael-yo]

Nothing gives me more peace than God😫😫💕💕

[tristanhnl]

This worship song has Hebrews ch 4 written all over it. I'm in complete tears, over the goodness and grace of
