FROM GRACE TO GLORY [Instrumental Intro: warm piano, acoustic guitar and soft cello, 4 bars] Verse 1 I once was lost with nowhere left, Bound by guilt and fear; Then mercy called me by my name And drew this sinner near. The darkness couldn’t hide me, My shame could not outrun The love that left the ninety-nine To find the wandering one. Verse 2 Your hand reached down into the dust And raised me from the ground; You opened eyes that could not see Till mercy turned me ’round. You took this heart I’d hardened, Made something new in me; And every step You’ve led me since Has taught my soul to sing. Chorus From grace to glory, From death to life, From chains that held me To freedom in Christ. You found me broken, You called me Yours; And I’ll sing of Your mercy From grace to glory, Lord. Verse 3 I see Your hand among the stars, The moon, the rising sun; Creation speaks Your majesty, Yet still You chose to come. The hands that formed the heavens Were pierced upon a tree; The King who holds creation Gave everything for me. Pre-Chorus You bore the cross, You took my place, You carried all my shame; The stone was sealed, the guards stood watch— But death could not contain The One who spoke creation, The Lamb who died for me; The grave gave way, the stone was rolled, And Christ rose in victory. Chorus From grace to glory, From death to life, From chains that held me To freedom in Christ. You found me broken, You called me Yours; And I’ll sing of Your mercy From grace to glory, Lord. Bridge Amazing grace still leads me, Your faithfulness remains; The God who found me in the dark Will never turn away. No fear of death can hold me, No power of hell can stand; My life belongs to Jesus— Forever in His hands. Build From fear to faith, From dark to light, From death to resurrection life; From who I was To who You called me to be— Your grace began the story, Your glory waits for me. Final Chorus From grace to glory, From death to life, From chains that held me To freedom in Christ. You found me broken, You called me Yours; And I’ll sing of Your mercy Forevermore. From grace to glory, Till faith becomes sight, Till I stand in Your presence Clothed in Your light. The grace that first found me Will carry me home— From grace… To glory… With You. Outro Your grace began my story… Your glory waits for me.
