     G         D            G
     Marvelous grace of our loving Lord,
     D           D7         G
     Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt!
     G         D         G         Em
     Yonder on Calvary's mount out-poured
     Am/C            Am           G/D  D   G
     There where the blood of the Lamb was spilt.

          G               C/G   G
          Grace,  grace,  God's grace,
          Am7             D7         G       C/G-G
          Grace that will pardon and cleanse within,
          G               C/G   G
          Grace,  grace,  God's grace,
          Am/C          Am           G/D  D7  G
          Grace that is greater than all  our sin!

     G          D             G
     Sin and despair like the sea waves cold,
     D            D7        G
     Threaten the soul with infinite loss;
     G             D              G       Em
     Grace that is greater - yes, grace untold
     Am/C          Am         G/D-D   G
     Points to the refuge the mighty  cross.

     G           D             G
     Dark is the stain that we can not hide
     D         D7      G
     What can avail to wash it away?
     G              D         G       Em
     Look! there is flowing a crimson tide
     Am/C        Am           G/D  D-G
     Whiter than snow you may be   today.
