"Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9

Unto the Lord my God I trace, That I am saved by sovereign grace; ‘Tis with a sense of sin I see, Naught else but grace could set me free. ‘Twas grace which e’er the world was made, Ordained my debt of sin be paid; What lovingkindness then was shown, God chose me out to be His own.

Grace reigns through righteousness alone, For Jesus suffered grief unknown; The law was fully satisfied, When for our sins He bled and died.

So this my song of songs shall be, I’m saved by grace so rich and free; Soon I shall see my Savior’s face, And praise Him for His sovereign grace. -TUNE TO "SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER" LM/DOUBLE WORDS BY JIM BYRD

So they are happy who are in Him. They shall never perish but h...

  " Unto the Lord this sinner owed A debt I could not pay; My sins were such an awful load, But Christ put them away. His blood has washed away my shame, And satisfaction made; O bless the dear Redeemer’s name, My ransom price is paid. Salvation unto Christ I owe, O what a gracious Friend; He washed and made me white as snow, On Him my hopes depend. Someday in heav’n I’ll sing His praise, With all the ransomed throng; And joyfully my voice I’ll raise, To sing redemption’s song." -Tune: "Amazing Grace"
