FREE GRACE! FREE GRACE!
Don Fortner
(Tune: When I Survey #118 LM)
When Christ the righteous Judge shall come
To bring His ransomed people home,
Shall I among the chosen stand
Blameless and pure at His right hand?
Though I’m the vilest of them all,
When to the judgment bar I’m called,
I hope by grace to yet be found
Hiding in my Redeemer’s wounds.
My only plea before my God
Is Jesus’ sin-atoning blood.
My merit is His righteousness.
My hope is free and sovereign grace!
Oh, let me never fall away
From this sweet hope of grace I pray.
Lord, keep me from that deadly fall
Which brings men back under the law. </P>
As I began this walk of faith,
So let me walk until my death:
A sinner saved by grace alone,
Trusting what Christ for me has done! </P>
When the archangel’s trump shall blast,
And God says to me, “Well done,” at last,
Before my Savior’s beaming face,
I’ll sing and shout, <B> “FREE GRACE! FREE GRACE!” </B> </CENTER> </P>
