Be Stirred!

We are learning a new hymn this month, which we do every month (see sidebar). This one really stirs me to the bone! I have such fabulous memories of singing this with my Daddy and now the kids are having a blast with it. Here is an incredible performance I found. Hope you enjoy it! Be sure you watch to the very end! :) That's the best part.



Wonderful Grace of Jesus
Words and Music by: Haldor Lillenas

Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Greater than all my sin -
How shall my tongue describe it?
Where shall His praise begin?
Taking away my burden,
Setting my spirit free;
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

Refrain:
Wonderful the matchless grace, the matchless grace of Jesus,
Deeper than the mighty rolling sea, the rolling sea!
Wonderful grace, all sufficient for me, for even me!
Broader than the scope of my transgressions,
Greater far than all my sin and shame!
O magnify the precious Name of Jesus!
Praise His Name!

Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Reaching to save the lost -
By it I have been pardoned,
Saved to the uttermost.
Chains have been torn asunder,
Giving me liberty;
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Reaching the most defiled -
By its transforming power
Making him God’s dear child,
Purchasing peace and heaven
For all eternity;
And the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

I stumbled upon your site while researching Johnny Appleseed for my homeschool curriculum. WOW!! I was so blessed by the hymn!! We often sing that same song in our little church here in Forks, Washington. It was wonderful to hear it sung with all the male parts. Thanks for posting it.
