Irresistible and Free!

 
Irresistible and free;
 
Oh the miracle of mercy,
 
Jesus reaches down to me.
 
God of grace, I stand in wonder,
 
As my God restores my soul.
 
His own blood has paid my ransom;
 
Awesome cost to make me whole.
 

 
God of grace, who loved and knew me
 
Long before the world began;
 
Sent my savior down from heaven:
 
Perfect God and perfect man.
 
God of grace, I trust in Jesus;
 
I'm accepted as His own.
 
Every day new grace sustains me
 
As I lean on Him alone.
 

 
God of grace, I stand astounded,
 
Cleansed forgiven and secure.
 
All my fears are now confounded,
 
And my hope is ever sure.
 
God of grace, now crowned in glory,
 
Where one day I'll see Your face;
 
And forever I'll adore You
 
In Your everlasting grace.

"And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.

Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them."...
