By Grace Alone We're Saved

No one can stand before God’s throne By keeping rules or deeds we’ve shown God’s holy word reveals our blame No work we do can cleanse our shame

[Pre-chorus 1] We all have failed and gone astray We all fall short of God’s glory and way

[Chorus] By grace alone, through faith we’re saved In Christ our hope, no more enslaved It was His blood, God’s wrath appeased The price He paid, our souls released By grace alone, this we believe

Upon the cross, God’s wrath was poured Its burning force Christ bravely bore He drank the cup that we deserved Soaked up the fury our sins had earned

[Pre-Chorus 2] The cross displayed what justice cost Yet grace is free to those who’re lost

[Chorus] By grace alone, through faith we’re saved In Christ our hope, no more enslaved It was His blood, God’s wrath appeased The price He paid, our souls released By grace alone, this we believe

[Bridge] My sin, my debt, His gift, His grace Christ shed His blood, He took my place His life, His death, His work complete There at the cross justice and mercy meet

[Final Chorus] By grace alone, through faith we’re saved In Christ our hope, no more enslaved It was His blood, God’s wrath appeased The price He paid, our souls released By grace alone Through faith alone In Christ alone That’s how we’re saved!
