Grace upon Grace Poured Out upon Me
By Effie Darlene Barba
Jesus the word the truth and the light
Portrait of God’s perfect Glory-Delight
His Grace upon Grace poured out upon me
That I from sin’s chains forever am free
The King above Kings laid aside His throne
Because He loved me-my sin to atone
Leaving the splendor, the songs, and the mirth
To submit to pain and sorrows on earth
Imagine the perfect, righteous one
God’s precious delight-His Dear Beloved Son
Would willingly choose to suffer such loss
Beaten, rejected He died on a cross
What kind of love, oh how can it be?
He suffered all this for you and for me
Despite all my sin and my foolish pride
He bids me to come-in His love abide
Open my eyes, Lord, always to see
Your love and your Glory there before me
Laying aside all my foolish desires
Until you’re the treasure my soul aspires
Jesus the word the truth and the light
Portrait of God’s perfect Glory-Delight
His Grace upon Grace poured out upon me
That I from sins chains forever am free
