FAITH IS THE GIFT OF GRACE ALONE          

 

Don Fortner

 

(Tune: When I Can Read My Title Clear #497  CM)

 

        Faith is the gift of grace alone,

        My God, how can it be,

        That You should choose, in saving love,

        To give that gift to me?

 

        A fallen, guilty sinner, I

        Deserve eternal wrath;

        Helpless, I would not come to Christ,

        Could not escape my death.

 

        Great God, You sought this sinner out,

        You called, and now I live!

        You gently forced me to Your Son,

        And caused me to believe!

 

        A sinner saved by sovereign grace,

        My praise I cannot hold:

        Hail, sovereign, free, unchanging grace!

                "Salvation's of the Lord!"
