By Your Grace

I am always amazed by what God has done for us - this is a song about just that!

I’ve been meaning to add some songs for a while now and hopefully this is a good start!  I wrote this song a little time ago but have been fine tuning it as you do. 

It is amazing what God has done for us.  We are forever indebted to him as he places us in heavenly places and pours out his grace on us.  I wanted to express some of that and this song was born out of Ephesians 2 (v 10 onwards).  Let me know what you think.

Lyrics are:

Lord, by your grace I stand
‘cause you reached down
and rescued me

I’m now here by Jesus Christ
In Heavenly places
You’ve seated me

Lord, you are so good to me
Lord, you are so good to me

It’s by your grace
your workmanship I stand
crafted by your hand
and brought near by your blood

by your grace
not through what I’ve done
but kindness through your son
I’m saved and I cry out

It’s by your grace
just by your grace

You made me alive in Christ
When I was dead
In all my sin

Now you have become my peace
I stand amazed
at all you’ve done

Lord, you are so good to me
Lord, you are so good to me

It’s by your grace
your workmanship I stand
crafted by your hand
and brought near by your blood

by your grace
not through what I’ve done
but kindness through your son
I’m saved and I cry out

Surrender

When God shows us his Glory, then all we can do is surrender. He has opened my eyes...

I wrote this song a long time ago after a difficult time.  It was a case of God showing me what I needed to lay down but he did that by showing me how big He was and how small I was - ever had that? I always keep coming back to it though no matter how much I learn…

I surrender
I surrender
I humbly bow down to you
Give up my life to you

I Surrender
I Surrender
I humbly bow down to you
Lift up my hands to you

I Surrender
I Surrender
I lay it all down for you
Give up my life to you
And Surrender

You have opened my eyes
Lord of the universe
Maker of everything

You have made me realise
The Fountain of truth, you are
The Wisest of all, you are

And I bow down to you
I bow down to you…
