Grace and Truth
Word of God
You stirred my heart
In ways that only
You could do
When I had made
A mess of things
You came to make me new
When all I knew
Was sin and shame
You gave me grace and truth
Grace and truth
It came from you
Completely changed my view
Mistakes I made
Made me afraid
To place my faith in you
And even though
I did not know
What I should say or do
The Word of God
Within my heart
Said I was made for you
In grace and truth
You did what you
And only you could do
When I was lost
You wore the cross
To pay what death was due
The stain of sin
Was washed away
I came awake to you
And all I want
To live for now
Is giving praise to you
[For the law was given through Moses, but
grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
John 1:17]
