Galleries of Grace

Amazing grace! look down, you skies,

To a vision of graces undreamed of

Wonder and gaze with all your eyes;

You heav'nly thrones, stoop from above,

And bow to this mysterious love.

Lord, by Your amazing magnificent grace

You create the WAY that justifies

The Son of God takes Adam's place;

Down on our world the Savior cries,

Stretches his arms, and bleeds, and dies.

Now in the galleries of grace

Are new exhibition is shown every day

Images  of our Saviors  face

The sin bearer  who stood in my place

The Lord of Salvation is on display

His mercies lay a sovereign claim

To all of our immortal praise.

Beauty that can never fade!

How are thy glories here displayed!

Oh, Great God, how bright they blaze!

Now in the galleries of grace

Are new exhibition is shown every day

Images  of our Saviors  face

The sin bearer  who stood in my place

The Lord of Salvation is on display

Agents of Mercy

Life goes on and on day by day

Hearts torn apart in every way

Help of the helpless help us be

Agents of mercy Lord for Thee

We are so in need of mercy

Mercy is our greatest need

So Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy

For your mercy Lord we plead

Judgment is within your power

We need your grace this very hour

Compassion and forgiveness

For all who repent and confess

We are so in need of mercy

Mercy is our greatest need

So Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy

For your mercy Lord we plead

Give us grace to be merciful

With forbearance and charity,

Showering pity on the pitiful

Agents of mercy we would  be.

We are so in need of mercy

Mercy is our greatest need

So Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy

For your mercy Lord we plead

Fountain of Grace

-->

To glorify the Living  spring,

Get down on your hands and knees

And to your heart’s satisfaction drink,

Till you have the refreshment  you need

And strength to go back down

And tell the people what you’ve found

All we can bring is our thirst to this place

Broken sinners, drink at the fountain of grace.

Yes the mighty fountain of grace

A neverending stream

Flows from the almighty giver of grace

From the One who reigns supreme

That our souls he might redeem!

Flow over us and cleanse us, river of grace

Like the deer pants for the  waterbrook

So our souls long after you!

When to the source of life we look

Our souls are refreshed  and renewed

So go down to your knees

Let it take you to the depths of the Crystal Sea

To stand where God's throne is placed

Broken sinners, drink at the fountain of grace.

Yes the mighty fountain of grace

A neverending stream

Flows from the almighty giver of grace

From the One who reigns supreme

That our souls he might redeem!

Flow over us and cleanse us, river of grace
