[Verse 1] I was lost in the shadows, wandering alone Carried burdens too heavy, reaping what I’d sown Then a light broke through the darkness, called me by name Everything I couldn’t earn, freely given, I’m saved by grace [Verse 2] This is undeserved mercy, love I’ll never understand How the King of all creation reached down with nail-scarred hands I was dead but now I’m living, held in God’s embrace Oh, the joy and the privilege of being saved by grace [Chorus] Oh, what joy to be forgiven What a privilege to be free Saved by grace I never earned God’s mercy cleanses me I need not prove my worth He’s already paid the price Now I’m standing in God’s love Amazed by His sacrifice [Verse 3] Not by works or my own merit, not by what I’ve done But by the sacrifice of Jesus, God’s only Son His mercy poured upon me freely from above Now I’m wrapped up in my Father’s perfect love [Verse 4] Every chain that held me captive, shattered by His hand Every debt I couldn’t settle, covered by the Lamb Now I’m dancing in the freedom only God can bring My heart overflows with wonder, that’s why I have to sing [Second Chorus] Oh, what privilege, what amazing grace To be held by hands that bore nails in my place I don’t deserve this mercy, but He gave it anyway Now I’m forever free, forever saved by grace [Outro] I don’t have to prove my worth He chose me long before my birth This freedom, this hope, this peace His endless grace will never cease
