Grace Greater Than our Sin

Lyrics by Julia H. Johnson

Music By Daniel B. Towner

Marvelous grace of our loving Lord,
grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt!
Yonder on Calvary%u2019s mount outpoured,
there where the blood of the Lamb was spilt.

Refrain:     Grace, grace, God%u2019s grace,
grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
grace, grace, God%u2019s grace,
grace that is greater than all our sin!

Sin and despair, like the sea waves cold,
threaten the soul with infinite loss;
grace that is greater, yes, grace untold,
points to the refuge, the mighty cross.

Refrain:     Grace, grace, God%u2019s grace,
grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
grace, grace, God%u2019s grace,
grace that is greater than all our sin!

Dark is the stain that we cannot hide.
What can avail to wash it away?
Look! There is flowing a crimson tide,
brighter than snow you may be today.

Refrain:     Grace, grace, God%u2019s grace,
grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
grace, grace, God%u2019s grace,
grace that is greater than all our sin!

Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,
freely bestowed on all who believe!
You that are longing to see his face,
will you this moment his grace receive?

Refrain:     Grace, grace, God%u2019s grace,
grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
grace, grace, God%u2019s grace,
grace that is greater than all our sin!
