It's From The Lord

It is not by things that I have done
It is not by trials that I have overcome
It is not by my own sweat and tears
Or service I've performed throughout the years

It is not by doing all I can
It is not by following a careful plan
It is not by merit or reward
It is not of me, it's from the Lord!

It's by the mercy and the grace that He has shown
It's by the Words of Life that lead us to His throne
It's by His Spirit that our souls are born anew
We cannot boast -- it is God's gift to me and you!

It is not by things that I have done
It is not by trials that I have overcome
It is not by my own sweat and tears
Or service I've performed throughout the years

It's by the mercy and the grace that He has shown
It's by the Words of Life that lead us to His throne
It's by His Spirit that our souls are born anew
We cannot boast -- it is God's gift to me and you!

(guitar solo)

It is not by things that I have done
It is not by trials that I have overcome
It is not by my own sweat and tears
Or service I've performed throughout the years

It is not by doing all I can
It is not by following a careful plan
It is not by merit or reward
It is not of me, it's from the Lord!

THIS IS A SONG WITH MANY TRUTHS THE CHURCH IS STILL TRYING TO UNDERSTAND, MAY OUR EYES BE OPENED, THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT SONG WITH GOOD WORDS.... Leslie 2009-06-05
Yes we may work hard, And yes, we seek honour and recognition, But honour and recognition for whom? Raise up your good deeds, and your noble acts, For they are to be done in God's precious name, In humble thanksgiving, for the gift of eternal life - through Jesus Christ we are home at last!  Mary (maryflynnk_AT_hotmail_DOT_com) 2009-02-08

It's amazing to be reminded that God's love towards us is by His divine mercy. We do not merit it. Our survival each day is by God's mercy and grace. Thank you for such a song at the beginning of the year. Omong 2009-01-29
