[Intro]
               

[Verse 1]
            
I was an orpha

              
n, lost at the

        
 fall; Running

 away when I’d

 hear you call

,
            
  But Father, 

              
you worked you

   
r will.
            
I had no right

              
eousness of my

      
 own; I had no

 right to draw

 near your thr

one,
            
  But Father, 

              
you loved me s

 
till.

[Chorus 1]
            
And in love, b

           
efore you laid

              
 the world’s f

    
oundation,
            
You predestine

           
d to adopt me 

        
as your own.
            
You have raise

           
d me up so hig

             
h above my sta

tion;
            
I’m a child of

           
 God by grace,

             
 and grace alo

ne.

[Verse 2]
            
You left your 

              
home to seek o

              
ut the lost; Y


ou knew the gr

eat and terrib

le cost
            
  But Jesus, y

              
our face was s


et.
            
I worked my fi

              
ngers down to 

              
the bone; But 

 
nothing I did 

could ever ato

ne,
            
  But Jesus, y

            
ou paid my deb

t.

[Chorus 2]
            
By your blood 

           
I have redempt

            
ion and salvat

ion.
            
Lord you died 

             
that I might r

#            
eap what you h

     
ave sown,
            
And you rose t

            
hat I might be

         
 a new creatio

n.
            
I am born agai

           
n by grace, an

          
d grace alone.

[Bridge]
           
I was darkness

              
 all of my lif

   
e, I never kne

w the day from

 the night,
            
  But Spirit, 

          
you made me se

e.
           
I swore I knew

              
 the way on my

       
 own; Head ful

l of rocks, a 

heart made of 

stone
            
  But Spirit, 

           
you moved in m


e.

[Chorus 3]
             
And At your to

#             
uch my sleepin

              
g spirit was a

 
wakened;
           
On my darkened

              
 heart the lig

              
ht of Christ h

     
as shone.
            
Called into a 

           
kingdom that c

        
annot shaken;
           
Heaven’s citiz

            
en by grace, a

           
nd grace alone

.

[Tag]
            
So I’ll stand 

             
in faith by gr

#            
ace, and grace

   
 alone
            
I will run the

           
 race by grace
