Lyrics

In looking through my tears one day,
I saw Mount Cal­va­ry;
Beneath the cross there flowed a stream
Of grace, enough for me.

Refrain

Grace is flow­ing from Cal­va­ry,
Grace as fath­om­less as the sea,
Grace for time and eter­n­ity,
Grace, enough for me.

While stand­ing there, my trem­bling heart,
Once full of ago­ny,
Could scarce be­lieve the sight I saw
Of grace, enough for me.

Refrain

When I be­held my ev­ery sin
Nailed to the cru­el tree,
I felt a flood go through my soul
Of grace, enough for me.

Refrain

When I am safe with­in the veil,
My por­tion there will be,
To sing through all the years to come
Of grace, enough for me.
