Chad Gardner - Grace Alone lyrics

I was an orphan, lost at the fall Running away when I'd hear you call But Father, you worked your will I had no righteousness of my own I had no right to draw near your throne But Father, you loved me still And in love, before you laid the world's foundation You predestined to adopt me as your own You have raised me so high above my station I'm a child of God by grace, and grace alone 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 But nothing I did could ever atone But Jesus, you paid my debt 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 I was darkness all of my life I never knew the day from the night But Spirit, you made me see I swore I knew the way on my own A head full of rocks, a heart made of stone But Spirit, you moved in me And at your touch my sleeping spirit was awakened On my darkened heart the light of Christ has shone Called into a kingdom that cannot shaken Heaven's citizen by grace, and grace alone So I'll stand in faith by grace, and grace alone I will run the race by grace, and grace alone I will slay my sins by grace, and grace alone I will reach the end by grace, and grace alone
