Story Behind The Song
This song is a response to God's amazing grace toward us, and the Bible text 1 Corinthians 2:9 - "No eye has seen...no ear has heard...no human mind has conceived the things God has prepared for those who love him" was the germ of inspiration for the opening lines and melody from which the song grew.

Lyrics
No ear has heard, no eye has seen,
No mind could know
Just what the Father has prepared
For those who love him;
And could we ever have imagined
Love like this?
While we were enemies
You gave your life to save us!
Not that we loved God,
But God showed us love;
While we were sinners
Christ died for us.
Your grace has made a friend out of this enemy;
Your grace has opened eyes of blindness-
Now I can see!
Your grace melted the chains around my heart-
Now I am free,
Completely
Overwhelmed
By your grace!
You are our Saviour, slow to anger,
Rich in love;
You show compassion to
A thousand generations,
And now the floodgates of your grace
Are open wide,
A tidal wave of mercy
Flowing to the nations.
Soon every language
Will form words of praise,
Proclaim the message
So full of grace!
(1 Cor.2:9/Romans 5:8,10/1 John 4:10,Ex.34:6-7)
