[Verse]
G C
I was an orphan, lost at the fall; running away when I’d hear you call,
G C
But Father, you worked your will.
G
I had no righteousness of my own
C
I had no right to draw near your throne,
G C
But Father, you loved me still.
[Chorus 1]
D Em C
And in love, before you laid the world’s foundation,
D Em C
You predestined to adopt me as your own.
D Em C
You have raised me up so high above my station;
D Em C
I’m a child of God by grace, and grace alone
[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
You left your home to seek out the lost;
You knew the great and terrible cost
But Jesus, your face was set.
I worked my fingers down to the bone;
Nothing I did could ever atone,
Jesus, you paid my debt.
[Chorus 2]
(same as chorus 1)
By your blood I have redemption and salvation.
Lord you died that I might reap what you have sown,
And you rose that I might be a new creation.
I am born again by grace, and grace alone.
[Bridge]
G
I was darkness all of my life,
C
I never knew the day from the night,
D Em C
But Spirit, you made me see.
G
I swore I knew the way on my own;
C
Head full of rocks, a heart made of stone
D Em C
But Spirit, you moved in me.
[Chorus 3]
G C
And At your touch my sleeping spirit was awakened;
Em C
On my darkened heart the light of Christ has shone.
G Am C
Called into a kingdom that cannot shaken;
Em D C
Heaven’s citizen by grace, and grace alone.
[Tag]
D Em C
So I’ll stand in faith by grace, and grace alone
D Em C
I will run the race by grace, and grace alone
D Em C
I will slay my sin by grace, and grace alone
D Em C
I will reach the end by grace, and grace alone
