Grace Abounding

Create in me the cleanest heart

And give my soul a brand new start

Don't want to be cast away

It's by your side I want to stay

 

Lift me to a higher place

And let me feel your saving grace

So I can teach and be a guide

To bring more people to your side 

 

I want to die to the power of sin and death
I want to live for the one who gives me breath
I want to be an example of righteousness
And grace abounding
Sing to the glory of his name
Who lifted me from the depths of my guilt and shame
Invited me into a kingdom I could not claim
And turned my life around

Deliver me from guiltiness

And I will sing your righteousness

O let my lips be open to

Shouts of joy and praise to you

 

What can I give to you in love

Things of this world are not enough

A broken heart, the highest price

I give to you in sacrifice

 

I was broken down in pieces

My soul was scattered 'cross the floor

Now I owe my life to Jesus

And he is what I'm living for
