[Verse]
D Dsus2
I was an orphan, lost at the fall;
D Dsus2
Running away when I'd hear you call,
Gsus2 D Dmaj7
But Father, you worked your will.
D Dsus2
I had no righteousness of my own
D Dsus2
I had no right to draw near your throne,
Gsus2 D Dmaj7
But Father, you loved me still.
[Chorus]
Bm Asus4 G
And in love, before you laid the world's foundation,
Bm Asus4 G
You predestined to adopt me as your own.
Bm Asus4 G
You have raised me up so high above my station;
Bm Asus4 D
I'm a child of God by grace, and grace alone
[Verse]
D Dsus2
You left your home to seek out the lost;
D Dsus2
You knew the great and terrible cost
Gsus2 D Dmaj7
But Jesus, your face was set.
D Dsus2
I worked my fingers down to the bone;
D Dsus2
But nothing I did could ever atone,
Gsus2 D Dmaj7
But Jesus, you paid my debt.
[Chorus]
Bm Asus4 G
By your blood I have redemption and salvation.
Bm Asus4 G
Lord you died that I might reap what you have sown,
Bm Asus4 G
And you rose that I might be a new creation.
Bm Asus4 D
I am born again by grace, and grace alone.
[Bridge]
Gsus2 Asus4
I was darkness all of my life,
Bm Asus4
I never knew the day from the night,
Gsus2 Asus4 Bm Asus4
But Spirit, you made me see.
Gsus2 Asus4
I swore I knew the way on my own;
Bm Asus4
Head full of rocks, a heart made of stone
Gsus2 Asus4 Bm Asus4
But Spirit, you moved in me.
[Chorus]
Gsus2 Asus4 Bm Asus4
And At your touch my sleeping spirit was awakened;
Gsus2 Asus4 Bm Asus4
On my darkened heart the light of Christ has shone.
Gsus2 Asus4 Bm Asus4
Called into a kingdom that cannot shaken;
Gsus2 Asus4 Bm
Heaven's citizen by grace, and grace alone.
[Outro]
G Asus4 Bm
So I'll stand in faith by grace, and grace alone
G Asus4 Bm
I will run the race by grace, and grace alone
G Asus4 Bm
I will slay my sin by grace, and grace alone
G Asus4 D
I will reach the end by grace, and gra2ce alone
