God is rich in mercy and grace,
Giving us a gentle embrace;
Because of His bountiful love,
That is flowing down from above.
We were dead because of failure,
All because of our behavior;
But God made us alive with Christ,
When willing to be sacrificed.
Together we are back to life,
Helping us cope with all the strife;
And have a position given,
When we have gone up to Heaven.
Through Jesus Christ this had been done,
God had given His only Son;
Out of His generosity,
In perfect virtuosity.
God wanted to show such a kindness,
Extremely rich in blessedness;
And He wanting to show the world,
While His plan being unfurled.
So through your faith God has saved you,
While you are remaining true;
For no doubt that it is a fact,
Kindness intended as the act.
You had nothing to do with it,
And not based on your own merit;
Being saved is a gift from God,
Whom we need to honor and laud.
