Analysis of WHERE HIS GRACE IS
Barry Green Jr 1973 (Florida)
WHERE HIS GRACE IS
I've been around the world, many different places
Seen lost despair, on as many different faces
Heard them cry out in that despair,
"God! Who am I that you even care?"
And finding that is where His Grace is
So often we rely, on who we think we are
But when we're weak, hope seems so far
Strength fails, but you're so very wrong
It's when we're weak that He is strong
And we are His, by His Blood we are
In our sins we were all dead, in the grave
Desperate for some Hope that could Save
We thought that our Hope was dead
But what where those last words He said
He said that our sins He forgave
Take up your Cross and follow me
And only then you'll be truly free
His Words defeated the grave
Through His blood we are saved
Will you be what you're called to be?
Do you know? Did you count the cost?
Do you care? Will you seek the Lost?
Leave behind your comfort zone
Because you're never alone
Since you bowed before the Cross
Amen
