We've all have fallen short of the glory of the Father

We're not just imperfect, we're all wretched sinners

Our righteous acts are like filthy rags,

No one is righteous not even one, all have turned away



We were dead in our sins

We lived in the passions and desires of our flesh, vessels of wrath

Prepared for destruction, but God being rich in compassion

Because of the great love that he had for us

He made us alive together with Christ



We are saved by grace

There's nothing we can do

To earn a free gift of God to all who believe

We are saved by grace

Through faith not by works so no one may boast

Except in the cross of our Lord Jesus



We're not justified by works of the law

But we are justified freely by God's grace

Through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus

So believe in the Lord and you will be saved



We are saved by grace

There's nothing we can do

To earn a free gift of God to all who believe

We are saved by grace

Through faith not by works so no one may boast

Except in the cross



I used to work for my salvation

The wages I received were my due and not a gift,

Now I rest in Christ from my works

And believe and rely completely on His



If by grace we are saved then it's not of works

Or grace would not be grace anymore

And if we're saved by works there is no grace

It's one or the other, God be praised!



We are saved by grace

There's nothing we can do

To earn a free gift of God to all who believe

We are saved by grace

Through faith not by works so no one may boast

Except in the cross of our Lord Jesus

Our Lord Jesus
