NOT BY MY WORKS, NOR BY MY WILL
Don Fortner
(Tune:
My Faith Has Found A Resting Place #228
CMD)
Lost and condemned in sin I ran
The
path of my freewill.
With
enmity toward my God,
My
heart loved to rebel.
Refrain:
Chosen,
redeemed, and called by grace,
I am a
child of God,
Not by
my works, nor by my will,
But by
the grace of God!
Yes,
sov'reign mercy intervened;
Stopped
my mad rush to hell!
Thank
God for grace that saved me from
The
bondage of my will!
Blessed
are the souls chosen by grace,
And caused by grace to come
To God
through Christ in saving faith,
Accepted at His throne.
