Grace Alone

Words and Music by Scott Wesley Brown, Jeff Nelson


Every promise we can make
Every prayer and step of faith
Every difference we can make
Is only by His grace.

Every mountain we will climb
Every ray of hope we shine
Every blessing left behind
Is only by His grace

Grace alone Which God supplies
Strength unknown He will provide
Christ in us, our cornerstone
We will go forth in grace alone.

Every soul we long to reach
Every heart we hope to teach
Everywhere we share His peace
Is only by His grace.

Every loving word we say
Every tear we wipe away
Every sorrow turned to praise
Is only by His grace.

As I reflect back on Easter, the real meaning of Easter, I am humbled. When I think about my life, who I am, I am amazed that God loved me… ME! enough to send His son to wash my sinful record clean.

I am a “good” person. I try to be a good wife, mother and friend. I do no intentional harm. I love others, treat everyone with respect. But I am a sinner. A worthless, good for nothing, sinner.

Only God doesn’t see me that way. He doesn’t see me as worthless. He sees me as worth everything! He doesn’t see me as good for nothing. He sees me a good enough to send His only son into the depths of Hell for my salvation, followed by a resurrection so glorious that I am in awe.

How eternal is His wonderful Grace!

It is truly by God’s grace that we are saved. His grace surrounds us. His grace strengthens us when we don’t even know we need that strength. His grace empowers us to overcome obstacles that appear insurmountable, to reach goals that seem unattainable.

God doesn’t have to shed His precious grace on us, but He chooses to do so. And that is where I am humbled. I don’t know why He chose to pour grace onto a world such as ours. I don’t know why He thought we were worth the torment of His son.

But He did.

And He does.

The song Grace Alone is a soft, gentle tune with lyrics that are humbling. Often I listen to it when I am lucky enough to have a moment of study in the word, or even just a quiet few minutes alone in my car. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.

About Life as a Christian Woman

Life as a Christian Woman explores Biblical truths as they apply to modern faith and the vital roles we can play in the body of Christ. Some topics are easy, such as Christ died for our sins. Others, like divorce, single parenthood, work, and submission to our spouses are more challenging. Then there are days we just need a good laugh with God. Together, we can learn practical faith in an impractical world.
