You've lost it all, your dignity and pride.
A sinking soul swimmin' in the tears you cried.
Alone and hopeless without a word to say,
cause guilt has taken it all away.
Except for grace and your faith
and knowing that God's love will forgive mistakes,
There's nothing that can clear your painful past,
bear your bitter pain, or could ever take your place,
except for grace!
We've all stood right where you're at,
facing the shame of failures and regrets,
leaving us empty, broken, and afraid to dream
cause sin has stripped us clean of everything.
Except for grace and our faith,
and knowing that God's love will forgive mistakes.
There's nothing that can clear our painful pasts,
bear our bitter pain, or could ever take our place
except for grace!
The price is much too high for us to ever pay,
we could try forever and find no other way!
Except for grace and our faith,
and knowing that God's love will forgive mistakes.
There's nothing that can clear our painful pasts,
bear our bitter pain, or could ever take our place
(nothing else could take their place)
Except for grace!
Marvelous grace of our loving Lord,
Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt!
Yonder on Calvary?s mount outpoured,
There where the blood of the Lamb was spilled.
Grace, grace, God?s grace,
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
Grace, grace, God?s grace,
Grace that is greater than all our sin!
Sin and despair, like the sea waves cold,
Threaten the soul with infinite loss;
Grace that is greater, yes, grace untold,
Points to the refuge, the mighty cross.
Dark is the stain that we cannot hide;
What can we do to wash it away?
Look! There is flowing a crimson tide,
Brighter than snow you may be today.
Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,
Freely bestowed on all who believe!
You that are longing to see His face,
Will you this moment His grace receive?
