Verse 1
F#B
I was an orphan, lost at the fall; Running away when I'd hear you call,
F#B
But Father, you worked your will.
F#B
I had no righteousness of my own; I had no right to draw near your throne,
F#B
But Father, you loved me still.
Chorus 1
C#D#mB
And in love, before you laid the world's foundation,
You predestined to adopt me as your own.
You have raised me up so high above my station;
I'm a child of God by grace, and grace alone. Intro
Verse 2
You left your home to seek out the lost; You knew the great and terrible cost
But Jesus, your face was set.
I worked my fingers down to the bone; But nothing I did could ever atone,
But Jesus, you paid my debt.
Chorus 2
By your blood I have redemption and salvation.
Lord you died that I might reap what you have sown,
And you rose that I might be a new creation.
I am born again by grace, and grace alone.
