I don’t climb up—You come close,
I don’t perform—You love me most,
You opened up the door I couldn’t find…

⸻

CHORUS (SCRIPTURE — ESV, verbatim with repeats for rhythm)
For by grace you have been saved through faith,
(through faith, through faith)
And this is not your own doing,
(not my doing)
It is the gift of God,
(it’s a gift, it’s a gift)
Not a result of works, so that no one may boast,
(no one may boast)

⸻

VERSE 2 (meaning in your words: works/boasting laid down)
So I lay down every trophy, every score,
All the little signs that I “deserve” You more.
No comparing, no pretending, no disguise—
Just open hands and grateful, rescued life.

If You did it, I can rest,
If You gave it, I am blessed,
I won’t brag—I’ll lift up Your name…

⸻

CHORUS (SCRIPTURE — repeat)
For by grace you have been saved through faith,

Not a result of works, so that no one may boast,
(no one may boast)

VERSE 1 (meaning in your words) I tried to earn what I could never pay, Stacked up my “good” like it would make a way. But mercy met me right where I was stuck, Love reached down and rewrote all my “enough.” I don’t climb up—You come close, I don’t perform—You love me most, You opened up the door I couldn’t find… ⸻ CHORUS (SCRIPTURE — ESV, verbatim with repeats for rhythm) For by grace you have been saved through faith, (through faith, through faith) And this is not your own doing, (not my doing) It is the gift of God, (it’s a gift, it’s a gift) Not a result of works, so that no one may boast, (no one may boast) ⸻ VERSE 2 (meaning in your words: works/boasting laid down) So I lay down every trophy, every score, All the little signs that I “deserve” You more.
