Lyrics

Lord, I’m grateful,
Amazed at what You’ve done.
My finest efforts are filthy rags;
But I’m made righteous
By trusting in the Son:
I have God’s riches at Christ’s expense.

‘Cause it’s grace.
There’s nothing I can do
To make You love me more,
To make You love me less than You do.
And by faith
I’m standing on this Stone
Of Christ and Christ alone,
Your righteousness is all that I need,
‘Cause it’s grace.

Called and chosen when I was far away,
You brought me into Your family.
Free, forgiven, my guilt is washed away,
Your loving kindness is life to me.

Grace loves the sinner,
Loves all I am and all I’ll ever be;
Makes me a winner
Whatever lies the devil throws at me.

Freely given, but bought with priceless blood,
My life was ransomed at Calvary.
There my Jesus gave everything He could
That I might live for eternity.

God’s unconditional love

The idea behind this song comes from Philip Yancey’s excellent book, What’s so amazing about grace? “There’s nothing we can do to make God love us more; there’s nothing we can do to make God love us less.” Really grasping this truth can trigger a fundamental liberation from condemnation, low self-esteem, and striving to please God or other people. Musically, it’s in a joyful, contemporary style, so you do need a band to make it work! But it’s fun to play and sing, and can be a great opener to a time of sung worship, both because it’s lively and joyful, and because it’s a good theological foundation for receiving all that God has for us.
