WE ARE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD (Chuck Girard)

Bb          F/A              Gm   Bb/F
We are the righteousness of God
              C7                        F
'Cause Jesus lives in us, 'cause Jesus lives in us
Bb          F/A              Gm   Bb/F
We are the righteousness of God
              C7                        F
'Cause Jesus lives in us, 'cause Jesus lives in us

Bb       Bbsus          Bb  Bsus  Bb
I was a sinner saved by grace,
Gm                    C7
But I'm not a sinner anymore
F                   Bb   F/A  Gm         C7              F
I choose to live in righteousness and to practice sin no more
Bbsus                      Bb   Bbsus                     Bb
I did not say I would not fall, but when I do I'll run to Him
Bbsus                        Bb  F/A     Gm
For He is faithful and He's just to forgive
             C7               F
You know He died for ALL our sins!

Chorus

Bbsus                         Bb
And now our hearts do not condemn us,
Gm                          C7
And we can stand before the throne
F                         Bb  F/A  Gm
And we have confidence before our God
              C7                   F
'Cause we no longer have to stand alone
Bbsus                      Bb   Bbsus                  Bb
Now God no longer sees our sin, He sees us fully reconciled
Bbsus                      Bb    F/A      Gm
He sees us worthy to have fellowship with Him
C7                                F         
He sees a brand new Creature, He sees us undefiled!

Chorus

Bbsus                     Bb    Gm                      C7
And now we share in everything, the very nature of the Son
F                        Bb      F/A    Gm 
We are partakers in the fullness of our God
C7                                       F
And we know that when we pray it will be done
Bbsus                              Bb
We can live right now in Heaven's realm, 
Bbsus                     Bb
We are no longer of the Earth
Bbsus                       Bb  F/A  Gm
We are the children of the new creation
       C7                                       F                 
We're joint-heirs with Jesus, partners in the second birth!
