“Tongues”
That used to say ugly things
No one needed to hear;
Now they speak words of grace,
Praising the Savior dear!
“Hearts”
That used to beat to enjoy
The wickedness of sin;
Now broken for the lost,
Helping them make it in.
“Lives”
Once torn asunder from
Selfishness and shame;
Now healed through God's love
And the power of His name.
O what grace immeasurable,
O’ what love divine!
O what hope immovable,
O’ what peace sublime!
Reaching down to the lowest
Of sinful creatures,
Redeeming freely from their plight;
Reaching out through the Word
And Holy Spirit,
Removing from darkness to Light!
