HOLY WEEK HYMNS: WEDNESDAY

GRACE GREATER THAN OUR SIN

In Jesus' Steps | Matthew 27:4

Some scholars believe this is the night that Judas collaborates with Jesus' enemies to betray Him for thirty pieces of silver.

We soberly remember our own sin, resulting in the magnification of God’s grace.

Watch the video and read the lyrics below.

Marvelous grace of our loving Lord,
Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt!
Yonder on Calvary's mount out-poured–
There where the blood of the Lamb was spilt.

Refrain:
Grace, grace, God's grace,
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
Grace, grace, God's grace,
Grace that is greater than all our sin!

Sin and despair, like the sea-waves cold,
Threaten the soul with infinite loss;
Grace that is greater– yes, grace untold–
Points to the Refuge, the mighty Cross. [Refrain]

Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,
Freely bestowed on all who believe!
All who are longing to see His face,
Will you this moment His grace receive? [Refrain]

By Julia Johnston, 1910
