Once I stood in condemnation

Once I stood in condemnation,
Waiting thus the sinner's doom;
Christ in death has wrought salvation,
God has raised Him from the tomb.
Once I was to God a stranger,
Filled with enmity and fear;
He has rescued me from danger,
Love revealed and brought me near.
He has rescued me from danger,
Love revealed and brought me near.

Now I see in Christ's acceptance
But the measure of my own;
He who lay beneath my sentence,
Seated high upon the Throne.
Quickened, raised, and in Him seated,
I a full deliverance know;
Every foe has been defeated,
Every enemy laid low,
Every foe has been defeated,
Every enemy laid low.

Now I have a life in union
With the risen Lord above;
Now I drink in sweet communion
Some rich foretaste of His love.
Soon, O Lord! in highest glory,
All its vastness I'll explore;
Soon I'll cast my crown before Thee,
While I worship and adore,
Soon I'll cast my crown before Thee,
While I worship and adore.

George Frazer was born in Ireland and was converted at age 20 in a revival meeting in Dublin. After working for a time in a bank, he left and devoted his entire time to the ministry. The first years of his ministry were spent around Dublin, but he later moved to Cheltenham in England. He spent the rest of his life visiting and attending assemblies in England. C. H. Mackintosh, a Brethren writer, was his neighbor and intimate friend. - Songs of the Spirit by Martin

-----------------

The original of this song was written in the plural, using "we" and "our" instead of "I" and "my".

-------------
The original 2nd 1/2 of stanza 1 is harder to sing:
As strangers then to God we lived,
Filled with enmity and fear;
Our souls from death He has reprieved,
Love revealed and brought us near.

I like how this song starts off where I am at and goes so high.

The One on the throne is the one who bore my sentence of punishment.
