His grace incredibly surreal, Daily given, some days I feel It so much more as I reflect on life, my sin, cause to reject.
And yet, instead His arms extend No matter what, one cannot bend The love so mercifully abounding From the Father—simply astounding!
Despite my awful sin, He continues to bless Christ my penalty paid, charges no longer press. Punishment fulfilled in undeserving Servant That I might have life, be free and fervent,
In serving the One whose love perseveres. The prayers of the unworthy He still hears, Continually providing far beyond our merit, Overflowing generosity, I scarce can bear it.
Why such goodness? Why such pardon? Love on sinners poured; hard to fathom Why me and my life? What does He see? Disregarding my past, welcoming me?
Despite the terrible things I have done He gives me life, through His Son And blesses abundantly through it all, Immense God—reaching out to the small
Undeserving sinners, in every place His grace, helps us to run the race, His grace, someday to see His face His grace, to feel His warm embrace
Truly amazing grace…His grace!
