"Except for Grace"

Jeff Silvey wrote an amazing song several years ago...and here it is! Let the Lord Jesus minister to your heart through these words:

EXCEPT FOR GRACE

You've lost it all, your dignity and pride.
A sinking soul, swimming in the tears you've cried.
Alone and hopeless, without a word to say
Because guilt has taken it all away...

Except for grace, and your faith
Knowing that God's love will forgive mistakes.
There's nothing that can clear your sinful past,
Bear your bitter pain or can ever take your place,
Except for grace...

We've all stood right where you're at.
Facing the shame of failures and regrets,
Leaving us empty, broken and afraid to dream.
Sin has stripped us clean of everything....

Except for grace, and our faith,
Knowing that God's love will forgive mistakes.
There's nothing that can clear our sinful past,
Bear our bitter pain or can ever take our place,
Except for grace...

The price is much too high for us to ever pay!
We could try forever and find no other way...

Except for grace and our faith,
Knowing that God's love will forgive mistakes
There's nothing that can clear our sinful past
Bear our bitter pain or can ever take our place,
Except for grace....
Except for grace!
************************************************
I'm so eternally grateful that He is such a gracious, merciful God.
I'm so eternally thankful that Christ came looking for me, when I was dead in my sins, and wanted nothing to do with Him.
I'm so eternally in awe that One so holy and so mighty would stoop down to bring me back to life, by surrendering His own, and then taking it up again.

Except for grace.....
