(VERSE 1) All my choices led me wrong Every promise I would break All my tries at being good Turned to dust, faded away No matter what I did I just couldn’t win that race When I finally gave up trying You touched me with amazing grace. (CHORUS) My works could not save me You did what I could never do On the cross You stood in for me Took my place And made me new Only Your work Lord Jesus My Substitute My plea When the Father looks on Your sacrifice He says “That’s enough for me.” (VERSE 2) Empty hands are all I brought To Your holy righteous throne Yet Your scars declared me clean By Your merit, Yours alone Now I spend all of my days Seeking the beauty of Your face All Your love is now mine Because of Your amazing grace. (CHORUS) My works could not save me You did what I could never do On the cross You stood in for me Took my place And made me new Only Your work Lord Jesus My Substitute My plea When the Father looks on Your sacrifice He says “That’s enough for me.”
