The Gift of His Mercy and Grace
Embracing Redemption: A Journey of Surrender and Grace
Lyrics
There once was a time in this old heart of mine
Reflecting on a past time in the speaker's heart.
Sin blinded me with no hope to see
Experiencing spiritual blindness due to sin, feeling hopeless.
I heard of God's love in that little black Book
Learning about God's love through the Bible.
The Word of salvation that's free
The Bible as a source of salvation and freedom.
I read John 3:16 and it made a new man out of me
Transformation through reading John 3:16.
While down on my knees praying, Lord help me please
Praying for divine assistance on knees.
Will you take all my sins away
Seeking forgiveness and removal of sins.
I know I'm not worthy to ask for Your mercy
Acknowledging unworthiness to request mercy.
I surrender my all today
Complete surrender to God.
The sacrifice You had made on Calvary's rugged tree
Recognition of Christ's sacrifice on the cross.
It should have been me in Your place
Gratitude for not being in Christ's stead.
With Your arms open wide thanks for hearing my cry
Expressing thanks for God's attentiveness to prayers.
And for the gift of Your mercy and grace
Acknowledging the gift of mercy and grace.
The blessings You give and how You forgive
Appreciation for blessings and forgiveness.
I know that I do not deserve
Acknowledging undeservedness of God's mercy.
The mercy from You for the wrongs that I do
Acknowledging personal wrongdoing and seeking mercy.
Each time You still show me Your grace
Recognition of God's continuous grace despite faults.
As You draw me near I pray keep my heart desperate for You
Praying for a constant yearning for God.
While down on my knees praying, Lord help me please
Repetition of the plea for divine help in prayer.
Will you take all my sins away
Reiterating unworthiness to request mercy.
I know I'm not worthy to ask for Your mercy
Renewed surrender of oneself to God.
I surrender my all today
Reaffirming Christ's sacrifice on the cross.
The sacrifice You had made on Calvary's rugged tree
Reflection on Christ's sacrifice for the speaker.
It should have been me in Your place
Gratitude for not bearing the consequences of sin.
With Your arms open wide thanks for hearing my cry
Expressing gratitude for God's responsiveness.
It is the gift of His mercy and grace
Emphasizing the essence of God's mercy and grace.
I was down on my knees praying, Lord help me please
Repeating the experience of praying for help.
Will you take all my sins away
Reiterating the plea for the removal of sins.
I know I'm not worthy to ask for Your mercy
Restating unworthiness to seek mercy.
I surrender my all today
Renewed surrender and commitment to God.
The sacrifice You had made on Calvary's rugged tree
Reaffirmation of Christ's sacrifice on the cross.
It should have been me in Your place
Gratitude for not enduring the consequences of sin.
Salvation is free to all who believes
Highlighting the freedom of salvation for believers.
It is the gift of His mercy and grace
Reiteration of the significance of God's mercy and grace.
Salvation is free to all who believes
Emphasizing the accessibility of salvation through belief.
It is the gift of His mercy and grace
Reiteration of the significance of God's mercy and grace.
