Amazing Grace

Salvation! A great gift
God gave the world!
His heart poured on all.
In place of hate, His love;
In place of death, life.

Crimson blood from the cross,
Washed the stain of sin;
Destroyed the power of death.
From Christ we all receive
The right to live His life.

Salvation! What rich grace,
Rebuffed by the thought
That life's brain and brawn.
Life wastes in a cycle of sin
While grace beckons. Free!

Salvation! Grace to live!
Yet we daily wilt in fear of
Death that died on the cross.
Daily we miss the joy of
Life that flows from grace.

Salvation! What grace!
What grace that Jesus died!
What grace that Jesus rose again!
What grace that I believe!
Amazing grace: I am free!

(Eph 2:8)
