Consider my first parents, Adam and Eve.
Created perfect, and in the image of God.
God’s communion to enjoy in the eve;
In perfect peace and accord.

Along comes the Tempter
Foolishly, the fall.
They hide from their maker:
But He draws near, in spite, He provided a way out of it all.

I was in Adam.
I fell!
My head rebelled, a rebel I am!
But in spite, God draws near, I hear His call.

Tis mercy all, immense and free!
I deserved nothing but hell and death.
Instead He loved me!
He sent Jesus, to atone for His wrath.

What do I have to glory?
None, but to appeal to the blood that was shed for me!
How can I boast?
He first loved me, in spite of me!

All we are like sheep.
We fell, we rebelled, and we hide for shame.
Herein we know His love was deep,
In spite of us, He calls us by name

As in Adam, so in Christ;
All my guilt and shame, nailed to the tree.
No more in Adam, now in Christ
All In spite of me!

Looking back over my life with each passing year,
I fall on my knees in prayer.
My heart welling up with praise to God;
My Saviour, my redeemer, my Lord!

Lost in the dungeons of sin; You called me.
Bound in the shackles of death; You saved me.
Sold in slavery to Satan; You saved me!
You quickened my spirit from the dead; everlasting life You gave me.

Sovereign Grace that gave me sight!
When I was blinded to The Truth and The Light.
Boundless love which to my rescue came;
When I was revelling in guilt and shame.

You took my place and died for me!
You gave Your life to set free me free.
Exchanged Your righteousness for my sin;
‘Tis all the pure act of Your Grace; nothing in my hands I bring.

Now I live for only You;
Your Spirit working in me the new life that pleases You.
Created anew for your glory;
Amazing Grace – this is my story!

If I had a thousand tongues to sing,
The glories of my God from each of them will ring!
If I could speak a thousand languages, it would still not do;
To express my debt of gratitude to You!

My Saviour, my redeemer, my Lord!
