Saved By Grace Alone

Saved by Grace Alone

I cannot face the morning tides
And I run my way to the other side
Weeping, praying, ever longing
For an answer I am calling

Can there ever live truth again?
Can love reach to the farthest one?
Does trembling fear, mourning all
Turn against the weaker son?

My heart! My love, my life, my all
Cruelly cast to dogs of slaves
Hanging off the court side wall
I cannot see true light again

My eyes blinded by lies therein
I give all to grief and pain
Mercy, kind mercy! Touch my brow but once
Let me hear the savior’s name


Cleanse me with the balm you hold
Wash me new with heavens light
Lift me up with wings of dawn
Let me dance in Jesus’ might.

Victory! All dies not the end
Merely, I believed the lies of men
But truth still speaks all clearly
Through God’s own mouth the promises He penned.
