Here is a song I have written regarding one of my favorite topics; "grace". The title, "Grace is For Me, What About You", is both a statement and a question. As a statement it seems twofold. "Grace is for me" in the sense that I believe that it is by God's grace alone that salvation is wrought in the lives of sinful men and that it is by grace that we live and walk "in Christ". But "grace is for me" is also indicative of another truth. Grace is on my side. It is indeed "for me". Amen. And then there is the question, "what about you". To my brothers and sisters in Christ it is a Pauline sort of question to challenge us in our thoughts, understanding and appreciation of His grace found in Christ. To the unbeliever it can only be a seed planting or watering question as the Spirit might use it.
Chorus
Grace is for me, what about you
Grace every day, yes grace sees me through
Grace every morning when I arise
Grace every evening when I close my eyes
I’ve been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb
By grace and through faith, His child’s what I am
Part of God’s family, His family divine
Joint heirs with Jesus, yes Jesus is mine
Grace is a wonder I cannot describe
Not from this world, no it comes from on high
Called to love others, its grace that I need
Called to be holy, its grace that I plead
So much by grace to me He affords,
His Spirit, His people, His life giving words
Blessings, their many, in Him they are found
In Him I have freedom, to sin no more bound
Repeat chorus
Never could I earn this love He has given
It all comes from Him, yes it all comes from Heaven
Merit, no never, no merit I claim
It’s only by grace, Oh praise His dear name
A race He has given, a race I must run
With strength and endurance, with grace from above
Eyes fixed on Jesus the author of faith
He giveth and giveth and giveth more grace
In weakness and trial, each struggle I see
“My grace is sufficient” are dear words to me
And on that day when I gaze at His face
I want to say “Thank you”, yes “Thank you” for
grace
Repeat chorus
Oh, to know Jesus, by grace I have peace
Sins are forgiven, from striving I’ve ceased
One day I will see Him, with Him I’ll be home
For now He is with me, I’m never alone
Oh, that you would know Him, this Jesus I know
Grace would be yours and blessings untold
Trust the words of the Father regarding His Son
He died for your sins, yes this Christ from above
Jesus is coming again this I know
There’s no doubt about it, He promised it so
That He is coming for me I am sure
By grace He confirmed it, by grace it’s secure
Soon He who is coming, the Word says will come
His church He will gather in clouds high above
Grace brought me to Him, in grace I do stand
Yes, grace from the one with the nailed scared
hands
Repeat chorus
Greg
