63. God’s Matchless Grace

1 I’ve been lifted from the mire of sin and shame,
Thru the matchless grace of God (of God),
And am fully justified, O praise His name!
This He tells me in His Word.

Chorus:
His grace (His grace) is like a river,
His grace (His grace) it flows for me (It flows for me);
It keeps me happy in His service here,
O His grace is full and free.

2 He has set my feet upon the King’s highway,
And a song of joy is mine (is mine);
By His grace I walk the straight and narrow way;
What a priviledge divine!

3 When the waves of sin around my soul beat high,
By His grace am I sustained (sustained);
For the God of grace I find is ever nigh,
And His promised pow’r I’ve claimed.
