Sin is serious. Sin is vile. Sin is pervasive in our culture and in the lives of the sinner. Sin is what we were born into. Sin is our tendency. Sin is addictive. Sin is hard to break, and hard to get away from. And, if you know these things as truth, this hymn will be such a relief! Because, though sin is all these things, Jesus and His grace is greater than all our sin. We were slaves to sin, but Jesus' grace sets us free. It can reach any expanse and forgive any sinner. We were children of Satan, but Jesus' grace makes us children of God! I hope you can read this hymn and feel the joy and peace that comes with the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
1. Wonderful grace of Jesus, Greater than all my sin; How shall my tongue describe it, Where shall its praise begin? Taking away my burden, Setting my spirit free; For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me. Refrain: Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus, Deeper than the mighty rolling sea; Wonderful grace, all sufficient for me, for even me. Broader than the scope of my transgressions, Greater far than all my sin and shame, O magnify the precious Name of Jesus. Praise His Name! 2. Wonderful grace of Jesus, Reaching to all the lost, By it I have been pardoned, Saved to the uttermost, Chains have been torn asunder, Giving me liberty; For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.3. Wonderful grace of Jesus, Reaching the most defiled, By its transforming power, Making him God’s dear child, Purchasing peace and heaven, For all eternity; And the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.
