New Song - It's Your Grace

"It's Your Grace" comes from the new Sovereign Grace Music project Grace Has Come (Songs from the Book of Romans). As the name suggests, each song is based on a portion of the book of Romans. We'll be learning several songs from the project this Fall. This particular song is based on chapters 9-11. Bob Kauflin writes, "How does one write a song based on Romans 9-11? This is our attempt. Doug Plank sent me the initial idea for the song, and I finished it while he was ministering over in Africa. I tried to communicate the thought that God’s sovereign grace is a cause not for theological disputes, but for humble rejoicing and grateful worship. After all, that’s where Paul ends up at the end of chapter 11." You can hear an audio clip of the song by going to the post that lists the Fall '13 songs and clicking on the album title.

VERSE 1   
You will save whom You will save
We're the lost and helpless ones
The rebels and the renegades 
Who spurned Your holy love
You will save whom You will save
Mercy will be magnified
Everyone has gone astray
And followed after lies
But You have loved us and opened our eyes

CHORUS   It's Your grace
From beginning to the end
It's Your grace
We will never comprehend
Why You drew the ones who ran from You
What can we do but offer You praise?

VERSE 2   You will save whom You will save
We were captive to our wills
And if our hearts had not been changed
We'd flee Your mercy still
You will save whom You will save
Who can question what You do?
You're the potter, we're the clay
You can make us as You choose
And there is no one who boasts before You

VERSE 3   You will save whom You will save
Yet the promised hope remains
You will rescue anyone
Who calls upon Your name
You will save whom You will save
Faithful love won't be denied
Christ has overcome the grave
And for our sins He died
And when He comes back His glory will shine
