GRACE THEY CAN'T DENOUNCE
Barry Green Jr 1973 (Florida)
GRACE THEY CAN'T DENOUNCE
They say that I'm full of sorrow
That my spirit anguishes for tomorrow
That I see a shattered world, in pieces
But brother, I tell ya, all I see, is Jesus
Not trapped by my sin, nor bound in hate
While all the world dances to their fate
I see a Dawn that's just about to break
The Son reigns eternal, dreamers all awake
Here I am! Here I Stand!
Oh God my Father lift Your Hand!
The world awaits, it wants to pounce
I stand in Grace they can't denounce
So point out my failure, laugh in your fear
I'm looking up my Salvation is so near!
Here I am! Lord I'm standing true
I know my Hope lies eternally in You
So tell me a story of trial and of trouble
How a lone man wanders the world's rubble
But brother, I'm an adopted child of the King
Watch out, the entire world's about to ring
Sing a song, of praise here with me
Stand in truth ye eternally free
For God so loved the world He gave
His Son eternally to the lost He save
They say that I'm full of sorrow
That my spirit anguishes for tomorrow
That I see a shattered world, in pieces
But brother, I tell ya, all I see, is Jesus
AMEN
