37. His Wonderful Grace

1 When I was sore burdened and bound in sin,
It was Jesus who set me free;
When I was afraid the new life to begin,
His grace was sufficient for me.

Chorus:
Grace! Grace! His wonderful grace,
He is waiting to show to thee,
Grace! Grace! His marvelous grace,
His grace is abundant and free.

2 His grace is sufficient, O will you believe?
Oh, I know it because I am free;
To save from the guilt and pollution of sin
His grace was sufficient for me. [Chorus]

3 O will you not trust the Redeemer and Lord?
He has called you, “O come to Me”;
Why longer delay, why His mercy refuse?
His grace is sufficient for thee. [Chorus]
