I well remember when I saw
Myself condemned before the law
Heard Sinai's awful thunders roll
While fear possessed my trembling soul
"Not under law," that could not save
But doomed me to a hopeless grave
"But under grace," where I am free
Through Jesus Christ who died for me
'Twas then in sore dismay I turned
And sought the mercy I had spurned
'Twas then, by faith, mine eyes could see
Christ dying on the cross for me
That rapturous hour I'll ne'er forget
When God forgave me all my debt
And, what the law could ne'er have done
His grace accomlished by His Son
| |
No more the treat'ning law I dread
But I have constant peace instead
And live, through Him who took my place
"Not underlaw but under grace."
No condemnation now have I
Unclouded sunshine fills my sky
Mine is a happy dwelling place
"Not underlaw but under grace."
