Because of grace I came to know Because of sin where I would go Forever there from God concealed If I refused what he revealed Through grace I heard God gave his son Who died for sins that I had done And paid the debt that long was due His cross had done what I could not do Because of grace I'm pressing onward With joy I'll face what comes my way When troubles mount and dark clouds surround me Because of grace they just fade away When things in life that don't seem fair Bring aches and pains so hard to bear And I feel so weak that I can't go on Because of grace I am made strong
