Salvation"s Gift

(Verse 1)

I was lost, weary, I was wandering blind,

I was chasing shadows only in my mind.

I Tried so hard to earn my own way,

But all of my works... my sin debt could not pay.

(Pre-Chorus)

Then mercy called me by my name,

And showed me a love... so pure, I can not explain.

(Chorus)

By grace through faith, I"m now standing strong,

I found it has been by the cross all along.

Not by my striving, not by what I"ve done,

But Salvation"s gift, through Jesus, His Son.

(Verse 2)

And then His mercy, like a crimson river flowing wide,

Washed over me, and cleansed me of sin, fear and pride.

By grace through faith, a truth that has set me free,

By His love"s embrace, given eternally for me.

(Pre-Chorus)

His mercy lifted me,

Now I"m alive, now I"m free.

(Chorus)

By grace through faith, I"m now standing strong,

I found it has been by the cross all along.

Not by my striving, not by what I"ve done,

But Salvation"s gift, through Jesus, His Son.

(Bridge)

No longer bound by chains of guilt and shame,

I lift my voice, and glorify His name.

The debt was paid, the sacrifice is complete,

Now in His presence, I find my soul"s retreat.

(Outro)

So I will boast in Christ alone,

My hope, my life, my cornerstone.

Called By Grace through faith, a simple, wondrous plea,

Given by His love, my anchor, for all eternity

Grace through faith, a simple, wondrous plea,

Given by His love, my anchor, for all eternity.
