Shai Linne - Mercy and Grace (feat. Timothy Brindle) Lyrics

Verse 1 (Shai Linne)I gotta say this, God is graciousThat's not just a doctrine statement, but my heartfelt proclamationOf a God who saves men without obligationFrom sin's domination and the bonds of SatanNobody sins in moderationThat's obvious from our evil thoughts to our conversationWe were dead, we needed more than an operationWe had to be brought out the grave and made alive, awakenedIt's quite amazing how in salvationEach person of the Trinity contributes like a compilationThe Father elected me, Jesus bled for meAnd regeneration is the Holy Spirit's confirmationSo we repent of our abominationsConsecration to the God who's exalted above the constellationsThe observation of the congregation isGod is gracious with a lot of patience, so we gotta praise Him!ChorusWe'll forever praise His mercy and gracePraise the Lord for His mercy and graceHis mercy and graceAnd Christ took the curse in our placePraise the Lord for His mercy and grace (repeat)Verse 2 (Shai Linne)When I speak of God's mercy, I'm speaking of His tendencyTo tenderly express empathy towards His enemiesWhether it be mentally or outright obscenityWe effectively deserve hell for our enmityAdam left a legacy of sin, since we share in his pedigreeWe therefore share in his destinyIf God didn't intervene, we'd all perish eventuallyIn His great mercy, He gave us the remedyChrist lived sinlessly, then He paid the penaltyHis assassination was public like John KennedyRose on the third day, exalted to the heavenliesRepent and see your sins will be deleted from His memoryGain a new identity, eternal serenityNow it's clear we should "volunteer" like TennesseeTo spread His fame endlessly, the message is essentiallyA merciful God sent His Son to set sinners free!ChorusVerse 3 (Timothy Brindle)In mercy, Christ saw our wretched conditionBut instead of giving us death for our sinningIn grace, His blood paid the debt that's infiniteNow resurrected with Christ and blessed because we're in HimMercy: Christ turned the Father's angerGrace: Christ earned us all His favorAnd since Christ kept the precepts of the lawBecause of His perfection, we're accepted by God!Real righteousness He gladly gives usThe Father happily lavishes thisInstead of filthy rags, our Dad's forgivenessThe ultimate story of rags to riches!His grace displayed in saving the worst menBehold, God's riches of grace are a Person (Jesus)Christ, the fountain abounding in His graceOver my foul sin and mountains of mistakesIn pleasure He's immeasurably graciousNow we're seated with Jesus in the heavenly placesPlus His Spirit's the strength that will change TimHe daily gives the grace of sanctificationForever we'll praise the I AmWho gave us grace in the Lamb before the ages beganSo Shai, with that, resume the chorusBecause of the cross, all His attributes are for us!ChorusRefrainShai: Yo Tim, that was a bangin' verse, bTim: Nah, remember, I'm a sinner saved by mercyShai: What's mercy?Tim: It's not getting what we deserveBecause Christ already suffered the judgment and curseBut Shai, yo, you blazed it ace!Shai: Praise God, I'm just a sinner saved by graceTim: Well, define graceShai: Our redemption price immenseBoth: Grace stands for God's Riches At Christ's Expense!
