[Verse 1]
D D2
I was an orphan lost at the fall
D D2
Running away when I’d hear You call
G D D2
But, Father, You worked your will
D D2
I had no righteousness of my own
D D2
I had no right to draw near Your throne
G D
But, Father, You loved me still
[Chorus 1]
Bm F#m
And in love before You laid the world’s foundation
Bm G
You predestined to adopt me as Your own
Bm D A D/F# G
You have raised me up so high above my station
Bm A D
I’m a child of God by grace & grace alone
[Verse 2]
D D2
You left Your home to seek out the lost
D D2
You knew the great & terrible cost
G D D2
But Jesus, Your face was set
D D2
I worked my fingers down to the bone
D D2
But nothing I did could ever atone
G D
But Jesus, You paid my debt
[Chorus 2]
Bm F#m
By Your blood I have redemption and salvation
Bm G
Lord, You died that I might reap what You have sown
Bm D A D/F# G
And You rose that I might be a new creation
Bm A D
I am born again by grace & grace alone
[Verse 3]
D/G D/G#
I was in darkness all of my life
D/A D/A#
I never knew the day from the night
D/B D/A# D/A D/G#
But, Spirit, You made me see
D/G D/G#
I swore I knew the way on my own
D/A D/A#
A head full of rocks, a heart made of stone
D/B D/A# D/A D/G#
But Spirit, You moved in me
[Chorus 3]
G A Bm
And at Your touch my sleeping spirit was awakened
G A Bm
On my darkened heart, the light of Christ has shown
G A Bm
Called into a Kingdom that cannot be shaken
G A Bm
Heaven’s citizen by grace & grace alone
[Bridge]
Bm D G Bm D G
Yes I’ll stand in faith by grace & grace alone
Bm D G Bm D G
I will run this race by grace & grace alone
Bm D G Bm D G
I will slay my sins by grace & grace alone
Bm D G Bm D G
I will reach the end by grace & grace alone
