Grace – a foundation strong and stable
All that’s profitable rests upon it
Faith in Christ’s finished work
From this cruel cross blossoms grow
Like Aaron’s rod
Its petals are life-giving
When we build upon a faulty foundation
When our works attempt to pave the way to God
We are unfulfilled
Our feverish efforts produce only death
It is by grace through faith that we are saved
It is by grace through faith by which we grow
We are like seeds underneath the Sun
Of His grace
The Holy Spirit waters us
His love attends to our every need
We are blessed when we choose the path
Of unmerited favor
All we have and all we are
And all we will become
Is a gift from our benevolent King
