1 'Twas Love that gave at greatest cost
a life, that mine should not be lost.
The Love that died in deep despair
my debt fully satisfied there.

Refrain:
It was Love that took my place
on the cross of Calvary;
It was grace, redeeming grace,
that paid my ransom full and free;
over sin, without with-in,
I have the victory,
through grace, marvelous grace,
that lives in me.

2 The love that freely all forgives
in fullness now within me lives;
through ev'ry trial this I see;
His grace is sufficient for me. [Refrain]

3 God's love, His mercy, and His grace,
combine to raise a fallen race;
His hand is ready, e'er we call,
held out with forgiveness for all. [Refrain]
