By Your Grace

Sometimes I try to make it on my own,
but know I can't do it all alone.
I need your guidance to make it through,
for your divine grace that's ever true.

Grace is God's generosity,
loving favor that's given voluntarily.
It can't be earned, only given,
by the power that's of Heaven.

Lord God, all I am is a sinful man,
I can't do it alone, make me understand.
Your Word says their's faith through you,
I can't do it alone, help me through.

You're the only one I can say this too,
for all you have done, I thank you.
All my sins, Lord God, I do repent,
make me worthy to be in Your presence.

Though I sin, time after time,
Your forgiveness is what I find.
I am saved by Your divine grace,
for it puts me back in my place.

It's by Christ's grace which I am saved,
for this is the path that He has paved.
Let me follow the narrow road,
for this is the way you have shown.

What I have, you can have it to,
His salvation that is ever true.
It's for anyone, for everyone,
whoever believes in the risen son.

Christ truly is the one for me,
for He's the one who set me free.
By the blood of Jesus I am saved,
to Your righteousness, I'm a slave.

By Your grace,
I am saved!
