This song expresses my deepest gratitude to THE GOD OF OUR SO GREAT SALVATION IN CHRIST! It Is Grace And It Is Mercy” 1 Peter 1:1-9; 17-19 words and arrangement by: David R. Dee - music by: David and Karen A. Dee (verse 1) Lord my sin has kept me from you, I cannot stand before Your Throne. Hide your face and look not on me, your Righteous Name I cannot own. My heart of stone is now breaking, but still I am not holy Lord. What can make me pure as You God, can all the prayers that I’ve outpoured? It is Grace and it is Mercy, that make a righteous heart from stone; Jesus Christ the Great Redeemer, O it is He, and He alone. * * * * * * * (verse 2) Of this Grace and of this Mercy, can these a sinful soul renew? For sin I owe the greatest debt, will God my wicked way undo? The foes of God are without peace, who on His Holy Hill can stand? The Righteous Judge I’ll someday face; is my life's blood what He'll demand? It is Grace and it is Mercy, for sinful souls these will atone; Jesus Christ the Great Redeemer, O it is He, and He alone. * * * * * * * (verse 3) Grace and Mercy is the anthem, with all the saints this song I'll sing: 'Glory, Glory it is Jesus,' all praise belongs to Him my King! To Him my life now surrendered, my sin is captured by the cross. I with Christ my Lord have risen, my heart a flame; my sin the dross. It is Grace and it is Mercy, His light within my soul has shown; Jesus Christ the Great Redeemer, O it is He, and He alone.
