The Gospel of Grace


The living God came into history
The One who is the last and the first 

The long-awaited King of Israel
And the Lord of the universe 

This King was Jesus Christ, the Messiah
With authority o'er all things

And the Savior is the Son of David
He rules as the Eternal King


It was for our Sins he bled and died

At Calvary He rent the veil

He was buried but He rose again

Triumphant over death and Hell


He promised His Spirit-Would be with us,
to abide with us, ne’re to leave

There to always help us and to teach us-
For every one who will believe

So His Gospel ever holds the promise-
Of salvation sure and great

Healing, liberation and forgiveness -
The source of Peace with God through faith


It was for our Sins he bled and died

At Calvary He rent the veil

He was buried but He rose again

Triumphant over death and Hell


He alone is our justification-
He forgives us of all our sins

So we are conformed unto His likeness-
Transformed, eternal life begins

And so chosen peoples of all nations-
are very glad when they are told 

Of full, abundant and unending life-
With God Himself the final goal


It was for our Sins he bled and died

At Calvary He rent the veil

He was buried but He rose again

Triumphant over death and Hell
