Lyrics

Verse 1
Wonderful grace of Je­sus,
Greater than all my sin; (Rom. 5:20)
How shall my tongue des­cribe it, (Ps. 40:5, Ps. 106:2)
Where shall its praise be­gin?
Taking away my bur­den, (Matt. 11:28)
Setting my spir­it free; (John 8:36, Rom. 6:18)
For the won­der­ful grace of Je­sus reach­es me. (Eph. 2:7-8)

Chorus
Wonderful the match­less grace of Je­sus,
Deeper than the migh­ty roll­ing sea; (Ps. 103:11-12)
Wonderful grace, all suf­fi­cient for me, for ev­en me. (II Cor. 12:9)
Broader than the scope of my trans­gress­ions,
Greater far than all my sin and shame, (Rom. 5:20)
O magnify the pre­cious name of Je­sus. (Ps. 34:3, Acts 19:17)
Praise His name!

Verse 2
Wonderful grace of Je­sus,
Reaching to all the lost, (Luke 19:10, I Tim. 1:15)
By it I have been par­doned, (Eph. 1:7)
Saved to the ut­ter­most, (Heb. 7:25)
Chains have been torn asun­der, (Ps. 107:14)
Giving me li­ber­ty; (Isa. 61:1, Luke 4:18, Gal. 5:1)
For the won­der­ful grace of Je­sus reach­es me. (Eph. 2:7-8)

Verse 3
Wonderful grace of Je­sus,
Reaching the most de­filed, (Isa. 1:18, I Cor. 6:11, Tit. 3:3-5)
By its trans­form­ing pow­er, (Rom. 12:2, II Cor. 5:17)
Making him God’s dear child, (John 1:12, Rom. 8:15-16, Gal. 4:4-7, I John 3:1-2)
Purchasing peace and Heav­en, (Rom. 5:1, Col. 1:20)
For all eter­ni­ty;
And the won­der­ful grace of Je­sus reach­es me. (Eph. 2:7-8)
