The grace of God is Jesus Christ

Verse

The grace of God is Jesus Christ
who came to reconcile all life,
to be the perfect fulfillment,
the everlasting covenant.

Verse

He beheld our lost condition
and devised a rescue mission.
He descends from his throne on high
that all sinners be justified.

Verse

He takes our human nature-form
so that all sinners be atoned.
Under the law He takes our place.
This is the essence of God's grace.

Verse

He takes the law and its demands, and for our trespasses was damned.
And by his pure obedience
he becomes the only penance.

Verse

Upon the cross he pays our loss,
all the forsakenness and dross.
It is finished, the work is done.
No other work, but God the Son.

Verse

After three days the tomb is bare.
The savior is no longer there.
Behold his hands, his feet, his side.
He is risen, we're justified!

Verse

And at the throne he intercedes
on our behalf His righteous deeds.
His grace and mercy does bestow
to be received by faith alone.

Verse

Praise the Father who sent the Son. Praise the Son who our ransom won.
Praise the Spirit who through the means
creates the faith that does receive.

Verse

What shall I fear when death does come?
I have all I need in the Son.
Engraven this upon my heart:
The Lord my righteousness, thou art. Amen.
