Were It Not for Grace

 

Were it not for grace

I would be lost,

And you would be too

Were it not for the cross.

 

God’s amazing grace

Expressed in Jesus Christ,

Wonderful, marvelous grace;

His atoning sacrifice.

 

Were it not for grace

Where would I be?

And where would you be

Were it not for Calvary.

 

God’s grace from on high

Coming down to the earth

To save a poor wretched sinner

And give him new birth.

 

 

Were it not for grace

The world would be lost

But God forbid it should be

And died on the cross.

 

It was God in Christ

Reconciling us to Himself

And through His amazing grace

We have spiritual health.

 

Grace, grace, God’s grace

That sought for you and me,

Grace, grace, God’s grace

What wondrous liberty! 

 

 

 

Were it not for grace

Sin would have forever reign

But there is wonderful salvation

Ever since Jesus came.

 

That first Christmas morn

When the angels sang,

It was of God’s amazing grace

That in the heavens rang.

 

Were it not for grace

We’d be stumbling along

But because of God’s wonderful grace

We sing redemption’s song.

 

Redeemed, redeemed,

Redeemed by the blood,

The precious blood of Jesus Christ,

Born not once but twice.
