[Verse 1]
F# B
I was an orphan, lost at the fall; Running away when I’d hear you call,
F# B
But Father, you worked your will.
F# B
I had no righteousness of my own; I had no right to draw near your throne,
F# B
But Father, you loved me still.
[Chorus 1]
C# D#m B
And in love, before you laid the world’s foundation,
C# D#m B
You predestined to adopt me as your own.
C# D#m B
You have raised me up so high above my station;
C# D#m B
I’m a child of God by grace, and grace alone.

[Verse 2]
F# B
You left your home to seek out the lost; You knew the great and terrible cost
F# B
But Jesus, your face was set.
F# B
I worked my fingers down to the bone; But nothing I did could ever atone,
F# B
But Jesus, you paid my debt.
[Chorus 2]
C# D#m B
By your blood I have redemption and salvation.
C# D#m B
Lord you died that I might reap what you have sown,
C# D#m B
And you rose that I might be a new creation.
C# D#m B
I am born again by grace, and grace alone.
[Bridge]
A#m B
I was darkness all of my life, I never knew the day from the night,
C# A#m B
But Spirit, you made me see.
A#m B
I swore I knew the way on my own; Head full of rocks, a heart made of stone
C# A#m B
But Spirit, you moved in me.
[Chorus 3]
F# B
And At your touch my sleeping spirit was awakened;
D#m B
On my darkened heart the light of Christ has shone.
F# G#m B
Called into a kingdom that cannot shaken;
D#m C# B
Heaven’s citizen by grace, and grace alone.

I will slay my sin by grace, and grace alone
C# D#m B
I will reach the end by grace, and grace alone
