Justice is served with a heavy hand
Ignores all the good that we have planned
Justice gives us all that we deserve
A penalty for sin that we all must serve.
[Verse 2]
Mercy waits for our soul’s con-fession
My fears relieved and my sins for-given
Mercy does not give as we deserve
Yet the wicked it will not preserve.
[Chorus]
God’s grace is never deserved or earned
A gift so great that causes us to turn
Helping us walk in His Holy ways
Sustaining us during our darkest days
[Verse 3]
Grace can only come through Jesus Christ
His life was given and His body crushed
Grace gives us what we do not deserve
The will to stand and the strength to serve
[Chorus]
God’s grace is never deserved or earned
A gift so great that causes us to turn
Helping us walk in His Holy ways
Sustaining us during our darkest days
[Bridge]
Mercy follows both guilt and shame
Cleansing my conscience removing blame
But Grace is given before we fall
Holding us up while bearing it all
[Verse 4]
Enslaved by sin with its cruel lies
Justice only seeks my soul’s chastise
Mercy forgives and forgets my sin
But grace grants us a new life within.
[Chorus]
God’s grace is never deserved or earned
A gift so great that causes us to turn
Helping us walk in His Holy ways
Sustaining us during our darkest days
God’s grace is never deserved or earned
A gift so great that causes us to turn
Helping us walk in His Holy ways
Sustaining us during our darkest days
