_What Grace is This?

Dear soul, do you not see the infiniteness
of grace poured out for Thee?
A Holy God with wrathful eyes,
with hateful, vengeful hate for Thee?

Instead of taking you this day,
this very moment to eternal Hell,
Christ came to Earth in your stead,
freely did for you wretch’d rebel,

He lived a life of perfect pace,
He ran the race that you did fail,
He lived a life in perfect obedience,
that His justification may to you befell.

And yet the sinless Savior lived,
to come to earth to die for Thee,
for you who are born in sin, in sin you lived,
eternal life was given you a guarantee.

O, what grace is this for Christ to die,
for Christ to die for someone like me?
The grace that took all my lies,
my sin and death and set me free.

O, Lord take my feeble soul,
my weak feeble heart’s cry,
for in the face of sin and temptation,
I can do no other, I cannot help but lie

helpless on the floor of death,
strengthless helpless to do what is good,
for even in light of what Christ has paid,
apart from grace I am but a sinful fool.

O Lord take me to the throne of Grace,
and never let me go.
Slay me, beat me, mold me,
that Christ alone may be behold.

O Lord take me to the throne of Grace,
and never let me go.
Slay me, beat me, mold me,
that Christ alone may be behold.

O, what grace is this for Christ to die,
for Christ to die for someone like me?
The grace that took all my lies,
my sin and death and set me free.
