[Intro — Deep Male Voice] Why me, Lord? Why choose a heart like mine? Why show me mercy? Why call this sinner Thine? I cannot earn it! I cannot explain! All I can do is praise Your name! [Verse 1] Before the mountains first were standing, Before the stars began to shine, Your sovereign love was freely moving, Your grace was reaching out for mine. You found me wandering, blind and broken, You called me from the world I knew. And now the hand that holds creation Has made my heart alive in You! [Pre-Chorus] Not what I've done! Not what I've earned! It's mercy, mercy that I have learned! Not human wisdom! Not human might! Your grace has brought me into light! [Chorus — Huge Choir] ALL OF GRACE! ALL OF GLORY! JESUS CHRIST, YOU WROTE MY STORY! From the dust into Your presence, From the darkness into day! ALL OF GRACE! ALL OF GLORY! Let the redeemed proclaim Your story! If the Lord has been my portion, I will dance and shout His praise! I WILL DANCE BEFORE THE LORD! I WILL PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME! [Verse 2] David brought the ark with gladness, Harps were ringing through the air. Hearts were leaping, voices rising, Joy was dancing everywhere! Not for honor, not for riches, Not for crowns that men bestow. He rejoiced before his Maker, For the grace that brought him low. Lord, humble me before Your glory, Let pride and boasting disappear. For I was lost and You have found me, And Your mercy brought me here! [Pre-Chorus] Why me, Lord? Why choose my heart? Why give me grace and a brand-new start? I have no crown that I can claim, Except the glory of Your name! [Chorus — Bigger, Full Choir] ALL OF GRACE! ALL OF GLORY! JESUS CHRIST, YOU WROTE MY STORY! From the dust into Your presence, From the darkness into day! ALL OF GRACE! ALL OF GLORY! Let the redeemed proclaim Your story! If the Lord has been my portion, I will dance and shout His praise! I WILL DANCE BEFORE THE LORD! I WILL PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME! [Verse 3] Let the world pursue its honors, Let the proud defend their fame. I have seen the hand of mercy, I have called upon His name. In my rising, in my falling, In the paths where I have trod, Through the years of joy and sorrow, I have seen the hand of God. He was there before my first breath, He will hold me to the end. What a Savior! What a Father! What a faithful, gracious Friend! [Breakdown — Call and Response] Lead: Who deserves the glory? Choir: THE LORD ALONE! Lead: Who has bought our freedom? Choir: JESUS, GOD'S OWN SON! Lead: Who can claim salvation? Choir: NO ONE BOASTS BUT CHRIST! Lead — Roaring: FROM THE FIRST TO LAST, IT'S GRACE! Choir: ALL OF GRACE! ALL OF GRACE! [Bridge — Epic Build] Let the proud hearts bow before Him! Let the broken lift their eyes! Let the weary find their refuge! Let the Gospel thunder wide! We were dead, but now we're living! We were lost, but now we're found! We were strangers, now we're children! Let His praise shake all the ground! Not by works that we have fashioned, Not by strength that we possess. We are saved by grace through Jesus, Clothed in Christ's own righteousness! [Choir — Call and Response] Grace that found us! ALL OF GRACE! Love that saved us! ALL OF GRACE! Christ who bought us! ALL OF GRACE! Let the whole world hear us! ALL OF GRACE! ALL OF GRACE! [Verse 4 — Evangelistic Fire] If this mercy has awakened A new song inside your soul, Take the news to every nation: Christ can make the broken whole! There are millions still in darkness, There are hearts that need to know. Tell them Jesus died to save them, Tell them where the rivers flow! Let our gladness become mission, Let our worship turn to flame. May the nations bow before Him, May the world adore His name! [Final Chorus — Maximum Power] ALL OF GRACE! ALL OF GLORY! JESUS CHRIST, YOU WROTE MY STORY! From the dust into Your presence, From the darkness into day! ALL OF GRACE! ALL OF GLORY! Let the redeemed proclaim Your story! If the Lord has been my portion, I will dance and shout His praise! I WILL DANCE BEFORE THE LORD! I WILL PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME! NOT BY WORKS! NOT BY MIGHT! JESUS BROUGHT ME INTO LIGHT! ALL OF GRACE!
