The Grace of God opened my ear
And opened the eyes of my heart
The voice of Christ I joy to hear
For new life it imparts
Yes, new life it imparts
By grace was contrived the way
The rebel soul to save
The plan attained that glorious day
Christ rose up from the grave
Christ rose up from the grave
God calls and makes the dead to live
Heaven’s gate is opened wide
He draws us forth and grace he gives
And by faith we’re justified
By Faith we’re justified
Twas grace that has inscribed my name
On the palm of God’s right hand
Into my darkened heart it came
And brought me to the Lamb
It brought me to the Lamb
Twas Grace that taught my soul to pray
All to God’s grace I owe
’Twas grace which kept me to this day,
And will not let me go.
It will not let me go.
It will not let me go.
