The favor of God cannot be bought or won
But it flows so free through the blood of the Son.
We're filthy with pride; He is perfect and pure.
His grace reaches down, makes our election sure.
(chorus)
Pardon! Forgiveness! Sacrificial love!
That's grace and it's always enough.
Lord we have grown cold to the wine and the bread,
You're body, so battered, the blood that You shed.
We take it for granted, become cavalier,
Don't let us forget what we once held so dear:
repeat chorus
Now thankful for grace, for salvation so sweet,
We take to the world and the nearest dark street,
Invoking the light and proclaiming the Way,
Transformed by God's love and in love with God's grace
repeat chorus
bridge:
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me ...
repeat chorus
