Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt!
Yonder on Calvary's mount out-poured -
There where the blood of the Lamb was spilt.
Refrain:
Grace, grace, God's grace,
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within,
Grace, grace, God's grace,
Grace that is greater than all our sin!
2 Sin and despair, like the sea-waves cold,
Threaten the soul with infinite loss;
Grace that is greater - yes, grace untold -
Points to the refuge, the mighty cross. [Refrain]
3 Dark is the stain that we cannot hide -
What can avail to wash it away?
Look! there is flowing a crimson tide -
Whiter than snow you may be today. [Refrain]
4 Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,
Freely bestowed on all who believe!
You that are longing to see His face,
Will you this moment his grace receive? [Refrain] Tune Title: MOODY
Grace Greater Than Our Sin
