Lyrics
IT WAS YOUR GRACE by Jeff Leslie 5/19/89
I dreamt I stood before You as You hung upon the cross
Ashamed of my iniquity and all the pain it cost
I reached to wipe the tears that rushed a river from Your eyes
And saw my sins before me with each drop of pain You cried
I turned and could not look You in the face
For there I would have hung but for Your grace
It was Your grace that bore the weight of all my sin
It was Your grace that suffered in my place
You made a way to rise from death and live again
It was Your grace -- amazing grace
I dreamt I knelt before You as You sat upon the throne
Ashamed of my iniquity with judgement yet to come
You reached to wipe the tears that rushed a river from my eyes
And wiped my sins away with each drop of shame You dried
I stood then to receive Your warm embrace
And knew I would have died but for Your grace
From now until the end of all my days
I will tell the world it was Your grace
It was Your grace that bore the weight of all my sin
It was Your grace that suffered in my place
You made a way to rise from death and live again
It was Your grace -- amazing grace
Amen! It was His grace and it is His grace that will carry us to the end of eternity. Powerful song Leslie. God bless you. Mark
