Chains of Grace

When our hearts are failing and our bodies weak

Pour your power and mercy on us all

In your Word prevailing we your promise seek

Transformation cometh at your call.

Come and bind us, champion, to your covenant

On our hearts incise your law of love

Take us to that refuge that your grace provides

Take us to Your glorious throne above.

We are bound forever by sweet chains of grace

We are bondslaves to the Lord alone

And no power can sever and no time erase

Any sinner youíve claimed for your own.

We are bound and bonded with an easy yoke

We are sealed unto redemptionís day.

We shall find our answers in the words Christ spoke

May his faithful fetters be our stay.

We are bound on purpose to a Servant King

He has drawn us close so we can see

May His willing servants bring an offering

For His chains of grace have set us free.

We are bound forever by sweet chains of grace

We are bondslaves to the Lord alone

And no power can sever and no time erase

Any plan your wisdom has made known.

When the mountains level into mystery

And the valleys fill with sacrifice

All the Kingdoms of this world shall come to be

The Kingdom of our Lord and Christ.

We are bound forever by sweet chains of grace

We are bondslaves to the Lord alone

And no power can sever and no time erase

Any promiseÝ given to your own.
