Grace Alone Sola Gratia

Gm  F/A  Bb    G  C7  F


[Verse 1]
                   F       Gm      F
Whilst hearts were far and hard as stone
           F/A      Bb    F/A
To sin and violence predisposed
             Dm         Bb   F/A
The kindness of the one offended
                  Gm              Bb F
With nail pierced hands the chasm mended


[Chorus 1]
      F       Dm                 F/A
’Twas God who reached to draw us close
          Dm        G/B      C
’Twas he alone that none may boast
            Gm      F/A    Bb
Salvation’s work we cannot own
           Gm        C7       F    G/B
His grace alone that none may boast
           Gm        C7       F
His grace alone that none may boast


[Verse 2]
                 F        Gm    F
Whilst feet were prone to wandering
             F/A    Bb    F/A
In fields forbidden lingering
           Dm               Bb   F/A
With gentleness his rod and staff
          Gm       C            F
Corrected and made straight our path


[Chorus 2]
F        Dm               F/A
Heaven’s shepherd lead us home
         Dm         G/B      C
’Twas he alone that none may boast
          Gm      F/A    Bb
Salvation work we cannot own
             Gm        C7       F    G/B
’Twas grace alone that none may boast
           Gm        C7       F
His grace alone that none may boast


[Verse 3]
                  F      Gm      F
Whilst hands were set to aimless task
            F/A        Bb    F/A
On building what would never last
      Dm               Bb   F/A
Jesus Christ the stone rejected
           Gm              Bb   F
Turned our works to praise accepted


[Chorus 3]
    F      Dm              F/A
His burden light, easy his yoke
          Dm         G/B      C
’Twas he alone that none may boast
            Gm      F/A    Bb
Salvation’s work we cannot own
             Gm        C7       F    G/B
’Twas grace alone that none may boast
             Gm        C7       F
’Twas grace alone that none may boast
