SAVING GRACE
Verse 1
When I was broken, lost in the night,
You found me, Lord, and became my light.
When every doorway seemed to close,
You made a path that only heaven knows.
I had no strength left on my own,
I wandered through this world alone.
But You called my name with endless love,
And lifted my eyes to heaven above.
Pre-Chorus
Mercy reached where I could not stand,
You took my heart into Your hands.
Chorus
Saving grace, You rescued me,
You broke the chains and set me free.
When I was sinking in despair,
Your faithful love was always there.
Saving grace, my song will be,
Forever, Lord, I'll worship Thee.
Verse 2
You turned my ashes into praise,
Filled my nights with brighter days.
Every scar became a testimony,
Every trial revealed Your glory.
Though storms may rise and winds may blow,
Your unfailing love I'll always know.
You're my refuge, You're my guide,
Forever walking by my side.
Bridge
Amazing grace, amazing love,
A priceless gift from heaven above.
No mountain high, no valley deep,
Can steal the promises You keep.
I'll tell the world what You have done,
The victory has now been won.
Jesus Christ, my Living King,
You're the reason why I sing.
Final Chorus
Saving grace, my heart has found
A love where endless hope abounds.
You washed my sins as white as snow,
And gave me life the world can't know.
Saving grace, forever true,
My life, my song belongs to You.
Outro
Your saving grace will never fail,
Through every storm, through every trail.
From now until eternity,
Your saving grace is all I need.
This song works especially well in Afro-Gospel worship, beginning softly with piano or acoustic guitar, building with drums and choir, and ending in a joyful, congregational declaration of God's saving grace.
