And so by grace we have been saved   By grace Love has sufficed. We were not fitting vessels, We had no virtuous form. We had no eyes for beauty With which Christ is adorned. You raised us up with Jesus We’re seated in the heavenly place- For we have now been placed in Christ   For In Him we find grace Lord thank you for new eyes to see Now on Christ we set our minds... The beauties of Christ are glorious To these eyes that once were blind! God acted without condition In the grave we heard His call- He sovereignly awakened us And saved us from the fall.
