“Sovereign Grace”




Lyrics by Ed Enochs / Music by Lambert Lo




In the hills evil calls me by name
I hear its voice and I can see,
Darkness is all around me. . . .

No way out, no place to run, no place to hide.
I am swallowed up by sin and my pride.
No escape until I saw a cross on a hillside.

I am falling, falling, free falling away from you.
Rescue me from myself and show me what to do.
Save me God and reveal to me what is true.
By sovereign Grace alone I am saved and born anew.

Corus:

Nothing on earth can keep me from turning to You.
Nothing in the world can keep me from calling on You.
Nothing at all can stop me from proclaiming You.
Through the nails of Your cross I am born again in You.


Messiah, Lord of my desire, open my eyes that I might see
Justify me, take me to a place that I might grasp your reality
Give me a glimpse of your sovereign purpose for all eternity.


Set me apart and make me the man You predestined to be
Ordain my footsteps down the path Your will has decreed
Show me that my life will always be bound to Calvary ’s Tree.

Corus:

Nothing on earth can keep me from turning to You.
Nothing in the world can keep me from calling on You.
Nothing at all can stop me from proclaiming You.
Through the nails of Your cross I am born again in You.
