Magnificent Grace
by Betty Baker Bailey Magnificent grace poured down from His side. Undeniable love melted all of my pride; Incredible sacrifice of an only Son. Extr'ordinary peace purchased for men Unmitigated pardon from our deadly sin Astonishing mercy, bought by the Holy One. Long before Adam's sin His plan was grace. E'en before His bed of hay; He'd turned His face T'ward a life of hardship and death on a cross That we would not suffer eternal loss. Magnificent grace poured down from His side. Undeniable love melted all of my pride; Incredible sacrifice of an only Son. Extr'ordinary peace purchased for men Unmitigated pardon from our deadly sin Astonishing mercy, bought by the Holy One. As a youth His heart stayed focused above. Knowing all He would endure, He still chose love. He looked beyond His torment and saw our need. Paid the debt so that our souls could be freed. Magnificent grace poured down from His side. Undeniable love melted all of my pride; Incredible sacrifice of an only Son. Extr'ordinary peace purchased for men Unmitigated pardon from our deadly sin Astonishing mercy, bought by the Holy One. As a man He gently showed us the way; Bringing the light of truth into our dark day. He set aside Heaven that He might condemn The sins that separated us from Him. Magnificent grace poured down from His side. Undeniable love melted all of my pride; Incredible sacrifice of an only Son. Extr'ordinary peace purchased for men Unmitigated pardon from our deadly sin Astonishing mercy, bought by the Holy One. It's not enough to lift Him up with praise; For He shed great drops of blood our hopes to raise. He gave His all to bring us back to His fold So that we could walk Heaven's streets of gold. Magnificent grace poured down from His side. Undeniable love melted all of my pride; Incredible sacrifice of an only Son. Extr'ordinary peace purchased for men; Unmitigated pardon from our deadly sin; Astonishing mercy, bought by the Holy One. Astonishing mercy bought by Magnificient Grace! |
