By Grace Alone, Scott Wesley Brown/Marantha

"Past grace is glorified by intense and joyful gratitude. Future grace is glorified by intense and joyful confidence. This faith is what frees us and empowers us for venturesome obedience n the cause of Christ." - John Piper

"Sometimes a sinner parlays with his Savior, wishing he could have a little of the honor of his salvation, wanting to keep some favorite sin and amend the humbling terms of grace. But Jesus will be all in all, and the sinner must be nothing at all." - Charles Spurgeon

"Grace is but glory begun, and glory is but grace perfected." - Jonathan Edwards

This old Scott Wesley Brown favorite is from the Promise Keepers recordings; with themes of submission and mission, it is almost hymn-like in character.

Lyrics:

Every promise we can make

Every prayer and step of faith

Everywhere we share His peace

Every sorrow turned to praise
F    G      C
Is only by His grace.
