Lyrics

Wonderful grace of Je­sus,
Greater than all my sin;
How shall my tongue des­cribe it,
Where shall its praise be­gin?
Taking away my bur­den,
Setting my spir­it free;
For the won­der­ful grace of Je­sus reach­es me.

Refrain

Wonderful the match­less grace of Je­sus,
Deeper than the migh­ty roll­ing sea;
Wonderful grace, all suf­fi­cient for me, for ev­en me.
Broader than the scope of my trans­gress­ions,
Greater far than all my sin and shame,
O magnify the pre­cious name of Je­sus.
Praise His name!

Wonderful grace of Je­sus,
Reaching to all the lost,
By it I have been par­doned,
Saved to the ut­ter­most,
Chains have been torn asun­der,
Giving me li­ber­ty;
For the won­der­ful grace of Je­sus reach­es me.

Refrain

Wonderful grace of Je­sus,
Reaching the most de­filed,
By its trans­form­ing pow­er,
Making him God’s dear child,
Purchasing peace and Hea­ven,
For all eter­ni­ty;
And the won­der­ful grace of Je­sus reach­es me.
