Verse 1
Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Greater than all my sin;
How shall my tongue describe it,
Where shall its praise begin?
Taking away my burden,
Setting my spirit free;
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.
Chorus
[Men] [Ladies]
Wonderful the
Matchless grace The matchless
Of Jesus Grace of Jesus
Deeper than the
Mighty rolling sea The rolling sea
Higher than the Wonderful
Mountain, sparkling Grace
Like a fountain All sufficient
All sufficient grace For me
For even me For even me
[ALL Together]
Broader than the scope of my transgressions
Greater far than all my sin and shame;
O magnify the precious Name of Jesus.
Praise His Name!

Reaching to all the lost,
By it I have been pardoned,
Saved to the uttermost,
Chains have been torn asunder,
Giving me liberty;
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

Making him God’s dear child,
Purchasing peace and Heaven,
For all eternity;
And the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.
