We were dead in our path We were sinful sons of wrath Following a crooked road We were lost and wandering souls We couldn't choose righteousness We couldn't save ourselves from death But the God of grace, rich in love Gave his life with Jesus By His grace, by His grace, we are saved Not by works, or by words, but by faith In Jesus' name We have peace in Jesus Christ He has brought us to His side He raised us up, gave us life And seated us with Him on high The perfect king, the God of love Adopted us through His own Son He brought us in, gave us faith He made us sons and daughters By His grace, by His grace, we are saved Not by works, or by words, but by faith In Jesus' name By His grace, by His grace, we are saved Not by works, or by words, but by faith In Jesus' name Jesus died to give us life Brought from dark into the light Righteous in the Father's sight By the grace of Christ By His grace, by His grace, we are saved Not by works, or by words, but by faith In Jesus' name By His grace, by His grace, we are saved Not by works, or by words, but by faith In Jesus' name
