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.
