Heart of Grace


Now and for forevermore
The Grace and Mercy of the Lord
Shall be our portion and our peace
So shall our praises never cease.

The LORD of All works steadfast love
His justice to the Earth He brings
Righteousness flows from Heaven above
He finds delight in all these things!

This, this is the heart of grace
Mercy and forgiveness- will all our guilt replace
The lovingkindness of our King
Will make us living offerings
There is now no need to plead our case
For this is this is the heart of grace!

Our souls shall fear and trust the Lord
We on whom His grace is outpoured
Life to life and death to death
His finished work becomes our rest.

Bridge: Faith by its very nature
All boasting nullifies
Wherever faith looks, it sees grace
Behind every praiseworthy act it lies.

This, this is the heart of grace
Mercy and forgiveness- will all our guilt replace
The lovingkindness of our King
Will make us living offerings
There is now no need to plead our case
For this is this is the heart of grace!

In God alone we make our boast
We understand and know God’s worth
The Father Son and Holy Ghost
Work His Wonders in the Earth

The heart of faith, it cannot boast,
Except and only in the Lord.
The author of grace is the Lord of hosts
Who is worthy to be adored!

This, this is the heart of grace
Mercy and forgiveness- will all our guilt replace
The lovingkindness of our King
Will make us living offerings
There is now no need to plead our case
For this is this is the heart of grace!
