GRACE
What is this thought of undeserved grace?
A sinner condemned to a tormenting place.
Unable to hope, without a way out,
Weeping and gnashing of teeth all about.
Separated from love and life,
Only surrounded by pain and strife,
Nothing I could do to change my state,
A sinner condemned to a torturous fate.
Until one day Your love reached down,
You said, “You are mine,” and gave me a crown.
“Royalty,” you said, “You belong to me.
You are mine for all eternity.”
Blood was spilled from the cross to the ground.
Dripping with love,
Each drop made a sound.
Forgiven...
Forgiven...
Forgiven...
Forgiven...
By your sacrifice I can see love,
Healing, right standing with God above.
The arms of the Father have opened wide,
To His kingdom of peace, I’ve been welcomed inside.
Not by my merit, my works, or my trying,
But on Jesus who hung there bleeding and dying.
Grace, grace, I belong to the King,
No more condemned, there was nothing to bring,
He did it all, and by faith, I’m His heir,
There’s new life in Him, I’m now in His care.
Forever I’ll be in the place where He lives,
Only by the grace that He lovingly gives.

Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
