CSO Hymn writing exercise, based on
“Wonderful Grace of Jesus” AND “I Stand Amazed in the Presence”
(v1)
I’d lost my hope in deep despair
Thought I’d been abandoned where
Darkness hides the emptiness inside.
Crippled by long years of pain
Tried… but never found a way
To heal the hurts that covered up my life
’Til the day I found the grace of Christ.
Chorus
Oh, The wonderful grace of Christ is strong
Rises up in mercy to redeem the lost
Restores us, then releases us to life
Oh, how wonderful the grace of Christ.
(v2)
Was at the bottom, looking down
Nail-scarred hands are what I found
Reaching out to rescue this torn life.
I stand amazed, I stand in awe
At why I am so loved by God
He gave His Son to be the sacrifice
And offered me the grace of Christ.
(repeat chorus)
Bridge
I sing:
How marvelous! How wonderful!
And my song will always be
How marvelous! How wonderful!
Is my Savior’s love for me.
(repeat chorus)
(tag)
God gave His Son to be my sacrifice
Now, I’m livin’ in the grace of Christ
Oh, how wonderful the grace of Christ.
