Lyrics
Jesus Grace
Paul Anderson & Jim Stewart
It was a place
Like I’d never seen
An empty room
Was this a dream
Along a wall
File after file
Described my life
It was so vile
Upon each card
I saw my name
And I bowed my head
In utter shame
Then saw His face
His sorrowed look
Tears filled His eyes
Each card He took
I can’t describe
The endless grief
But then I stared
In disbelief
Each card ,He took, one by one
His name, then He, did pen
With blood He wrote, upon each card
And Covered all my sin
It was finished
As He led me from this place
First hand I witnessed
Jesus Grace
I could only say Thank You
Jesus
For the sacrifice You made
I could only say Thank You
Thank You Jesus
For the sacrifice You made
I could only say Thank You
Thank You Jesus
For the sacrifice
That You made
I saw Heaven in the distance
As He carried me
And I cried when I saw this place
We walked up to the Father
God Almighty
And Jesus said to Him
His debt is paid
I could only say Thank You
Jesus
For the sacrifice You made
I could only say Thank You
Thank You Jesus
For the sacrifice You made
I could only say Thank You
Thank You Jesus
For the sacrifice
That You made
In disbelief I had witnessed
I had witnessed
I had witnessed
Jesus Grace
