By Grace I am Saved

Grace Alone
By God’s Grace alone I am saved by Thee;
A grace that is always free and boundless.
Someday, by grace, there’ll be a crown for me;
So, there’s no reason to fear what’s groundless.

By Your Death, You redeem my sinful lot.
By Your Laws, all my works are rejected.
All claims of merit, they’re as good as rot;
By You, Mighty Savior, long expected.

It pleases You to give me Sabbath rest.
Your Gift to me brings a new beginning;
Even when sin’s sorrows roll through my breast;
And the Devil’s threats seem overwhelming.

By Your Blood, deliverance is now wrought.
By grace, God’s Son was on Earth appearing;
It was for my welfare that You have sought.
Before You came, my heart was all fearing.

It’s grace, free grace, through the Begotten Son;
By grace, You have paid for my salvation.
That is all my faith needs to rest upon -
Your Words that were penned by inspiration.

With sins, God’s grace would be losing, it seems.
By Laws, I have heard and lived my sentence.
By Your glory, mercy, and love that beams;
Always causing God-driven repentance.

But then, someday, through strong faith I’ll obtain;
Through all fierce conflicts and bitter anguish.
Yet, by Your anchor, I will still remain.
By grace, no more need for my heart to languish.

My heart’s part of this fierce spiritual race;
Even by grace, when my death has found me;
I’ll know how my soul was saved by Your grace;
And there is nothing more to oppress me.

Always certain, whether its’ felt or not;
By grace, even Satan can see it.
I’ll always share whatever You have taught;
So, the Flag of Faith now I can share it.

The Cross of Calvary

O cross of Calvary to thee I cling
My life, my love, all that I bring
I render unto Christ my Lord
All lovingly admired, adored

O cross of Calvary to thee I look
My sins and burdens all forsook
To bear the only I can bear
I worship thee in praise and prayer

O cross of Calvary to thee I gaze
Thy lovingkindness shall amaze
The dimmest portion of my mind
My heart to wonder is resigned

O cross of Calvary to thee I bring
An offering made unto my king
Who my lips to Him inspire
Songs and hymns of His desire

O cross of Calvary to thee I make
A promise that I cannot break
In pledge to love and all forsake
To follow thee this vow I take

O cross of Calvary to thee I pray
I come to thee and loving say
How great I owe to thee who died
This debt of love thee glorified

O cross of Calvary to thee I plead
For those I love I intercede
Thy grace and mercy them impart
Thy love to touch a tender heart

O cross of Calvary to thee I go
The time will come when I shall know
My living here has reached its end
I rise to thee in heaven’s land

O cross of Calvary to thee I confess
All my flaws and unworthiness
Shall be cleansed and washed away
Before thee stand on judgment day

O cross of Calvary to thee I bless
Thou whose love art blissfulness
With whom I find joy through the pain
Sweeter yet my blessing gain.

Placing My Trust in God Today

I place my trust in God today;
So, when uncertainties arise,
I know it’s He who knows the Way.
I trust His judgment, true, and wise.

I’ll place my trust in God today.
He’ll lead me with His strong Hand;
Even when I can’t see the Way
Until I reach the Promised Land.

I place my trust in God today;
Being led by His guidance, safe, and sure;
Alone I could not find my way;
Now, I can rest in peace, secure.

I have placed my trust in God each day;
Nothing has overwhelmed me there.
I’m committed, yielded to His Ways;
I’m there beneath His eternal care.

I’ll place my trust in God each day;
Each burden, God will help me bear;
And, while I walk the narrow way.

I place my trust in God today;
Led by His Hand, I will not fear;
Even though the skies are gray;
I know that God is always near.
