There is nothing I do, or anything I have
That qualifies me for your throne.
It is all by grace that I stand
I receive your life, I receive your love
I receive your forgiveness to stand
As a child of God, accepted and loved
It is all by grace that I stand
There is nothing I do, nor anything I have
That qualifies me for your throne.
You have given to me your life and love
It is all by grace that I stand.
It is all by grace, it is all thru love
That I stand forgiven and cleansed
Called to live, in the Kingdom of God
It is all thru grace that I stand.
As I enter your Kingdom
I receive new life: I exchange my
Rags for your throne.
My robes are worn thru the grace you gave
It is all thru grace that I stand.
Ere I think that anything I could do
Would earn me the right to your throne
To sit with you in the kingdom of God
I know its thru grace that I stand.
-Jane E. Pierce
