Not By Race, But By God's Grace
We’ve been joined as family
together
Through God’s unmerited grace
A union beyond
nationality
Beyond culture, creed and race
United together
through Jesus Christ
No matter where we come from
For the
grace of God has no limit
Nor boundaries we can’t go
beyond
But it extends right across the world
To every
corner of the globe
The light of God must reach out toward
The
ones that do not know
That they will believe in Jesus
Christ
And be filled with God’s own light
For Jesus accepts
all that would come
No one will He ever deny
For we were
once in darkness too
Dying and lost in our sin
But in God’s
love He saved our souls
And placed His love within
We’ve
come from different walks of life
And so many different
lands
But it shouldn’t matter in the family of God
And we must
come to understand
That when our Lord looks upon us
He
does not see our race
But looks straight into our open
hearts
Where He’s filled us with His grace
For this is
what truly binds us
Together in His love
Brothers and sisters
in the Lord
Washed clean by Jesus blood
For when we come
together in love
We are truly unified
It shouldn’t matter
where we’ve come from
For Jesus will be glorified!
