Claim It All

I have a mighty Champion
Who pleads the rights He won
Not for Himself but for my sake
Because of all He’s done.

He fought to buy these privileges –
He gave His life to gain
A glorious, bright inheritance
Through sorrow’s deepest pain.

He will not let the honors fade
For which He gave His life
Or let me have a partial share
Of what He won through strife.

So as He sits upon His throne
Now robed in victory
He intercedes on my behalf
To plead His cause for me.

He sees my interest as His own
In all that He procured
And now demands the total prize
For which He once endured.

So why should I, through guilt or fear,
Hold back or forfeit ought
That Christ Himself desires I have
And with His life-blood bought?

Arise, my soul, and claim the whole
Your Advocate has won
To thus lift high His mighty Name
And praise the work He’s done.
