Gratitude for Grace

"Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness" (Psalm 99:12). "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel ... wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved ... But by the grace of God I am what I am" (1 Corinthians 15:10).

By the grace of God I am what I am:
By His staff and rod, by the blood of the Lamb.
His love lifts me up and draws me to Him.
His grace fills my cup, overflowing the brim.

By the grace of God I know I can stand:
By His lovingkindness, by His gentle hand.
I stand on His merit, His blood shed for me;
I live by His grace, and His truth makes me free.
