(Verse 1)
I was walking down a road of my own choosing
Chasing things that only left me down
I carried every failure deep inside me
Trying to find my way to solid ground
But You reached down when I couldn’t reach You
Opened my eyes and let me see the truth
I didn’t earn the mercy that you gave me
I’m only here because of grace from you
(Pre-Chorus)
Not by the works these hands have done
But by the blood of Your precious Son
(Chorus)
By grace I’m saved, by faith I stand
Held forever in Your loving hands
You took this heart that wandered far
And showed me who I really am
I’m Your child, redeemed and free
Made alive in Christ who rescued me
When this world tells me I don’t stand a chance
I remember—by Your grace I stand
(Verse 2)
Teach me, Lord, to walk the road You’ve given
To leave behind the man that I once lived in
Help me walk in goodness, truth, and light
And choose what’s pleasing in Your sight
Let forgiveness live inside my heart
Let Your love be where my footsteps start
And when temptation whispers like before
Remind me just who I’m living for
(Pre-Chorus)
Not by the strength these hands can hold
But by Jesus, the One who saved my soul
(Chorus)
By grace I’m saved, by faith I stand
Held forever in Your loving hands
You took this heart that wandered far
And showed me who I really am
I’m Your child, redeemed and free
Made alive in Christ who rescued me
When this world tells me I don’t stand a chance
I remember—by Your grace I stand
(Bridge)
So I’ll put on the armor You provide
Truth around me, righteousness beside
Faith my shield when fiery arrows fly
Your salvation guarding my heart and mind
With Your Word held firmly in my hand
When the darkness comes, I will not run
I will stand, Lord, I will stand
Not in my strength—but in Your Son
(Final Chorus)
By grace I’m saved, by faith I stand
Held forever in Your loving hands
You took this heart that wandered far
And showed me who I really am
I’m Your child, redeemed and free
Made alive in Christ who rescued me
Whatever comes, whatever this life demands
I’ll remember—by Your grace I stand
(Outro)
I didn’t earn it
I never can
Jesus saved me
By grace I stand
