Gracia admirable del Dios de amor

Representative Text

1 ¡Gracia admirable del Dios de amor
que excede a todo nuestro pecar!
Cristo en la cruz por el pecador
su vida ha dado. ¡Qué amor sin par!

Coro:
¡Gracia! ¡Gracia!
¡Gracia de Dios que nos da perdón!
¡Gracia! ¡Gracia!
¡Gracia que limpia el corazón!

2 Negras las olas de la maldad
me amenazaron con perdición;
Pudo en la gracia de Dios hallar
dulce refugio me corazón. [Coro]

3 Nunca tu mancha podrás limpiar
sino en la sangre del buen Jesús;
En ella, sí, la podrás lavar,
hoy sin cesar fluye de la cruz. [Coro]

4 Gracia infinita recibirá
todo el que cree en Cristo el Señor;
Si del pecado cansado estás,
ven, gracia ofrece tu Salvador. [Coro]
