GRACE THAT CANNOT FAIL
Don Fortner
(Tune:
The Son Of God Goes Forth To War #412 CMD)
Astonished
and by sin distressed,
A
wretched worm unclean!
My
heart's the source of every vice,
The
seat of every sin!
Justice
had seized my wretched soul,
I was
condemned to die!
My
just, eternal ruin I saw:
A
sinner, I must die!
But
then I heard the gospel sound,
How
Christ for sinners died,
How God
in Christ a ransom found
And
justice satisfied!
The spirit gave me faith, and I
Believe
the blessed Word.
I see
my Savior crucified,
I'm
pardoned by His blood!
Hail!
Sovereign grace so rich and free,
That first devised the plan
To save
a sinful wretch like me,
And
carried out the plan!
Effectual
grace! Effectual blood!
Grace
that can never fail!
I
praise You, my great, saving God,
For grace that cannot fail.
