Grace Greater than Our Sin

Verse 1
Marvelous grace of our lov­ing Lord,
Grace that ex­ceeds our sin and our guilt! (Rom. 5:20)
Yonder on Cal­va­ry’s mount out­poured,
There where the blood of the Lamb was spilled. (I Pet. 1:19)

Chorus
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that will par­don and cleanse with­in; (Rom. 3:24)
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that is great­er than all our sin. (Rom. 5:20)

Verse 2
Sin and des­pair, like the sea waves cold,
Threaten the soul with in­fi­nite loss;
Grace that is great­er, yes, grace un­told,
Points to the re­fuge, the migh­ty cross.

Verse 3
Dark is the stain that we can­not hide.
What can avail to wash it away? (Acts 22:16, I John 1:7, Rev. 1:5)
Look! There is flow­ing a crim­son tide, (Zech. 13:1)
Brighter than snow you may be to­day. (Ps. 51:7, Isa. 1:18)

Verse 4
Marvelous, in­fi­nite, match­less grace,
Freely be­stowed on all who be­lieve!
You that are long­ing to see His face, (Ps. 27:8, Rev. 22:4)
Will you this mo­ment His grace re­ceive?
