I Don’t Deserve a Moment’s Grace
I don’t deserve a moment’s grace
Much less such love as this:
I don’t deserve a moment’s grace
Much less such love as this:
That One should die to take my place
And all my guilt dismiss.
I can’t repay the debt I owe;
I know I can’t begin.
The more I try my love to show,
The more I feel my sin.
He gives me strength from day to day
To set myself apart,
To walk the straight and narrow way,
And love Him from the heart.
But all the good He’s worked in me;
The strength, the faith, the love;
Does not attain the least degree
Of what He’s worthy of.
The God who gave His only Son
And hides me with His wings
Is also now the very One
Who promises “all things.”
And should I think to earn the right
His blessings to receive?
No, grace has brought me better light
And taught me to believe.
