Ephesians 1:6

"To the praise of the glory of his grace,
wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved."

        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;
        O the Wonderful Grace of Jesus reaches me!

          Refrain
          (men)     Wonderful the matchless Grace of Jesus,
              (women)  the matchless Grace of Jesus,
          (men)     Deeper than the mighty rolling sea;
              (women)   the rolling sea;
          (women)   Wonderful Grace, all sufficient for me, for even me
          (men)        Higher than the mountain, sparkling like a fountain,
                          All sufficient Grace for even me.
          (all)     Broader than the scope of my transgressions,
              (men)     sing it!
          (all)     Greater far than all my sin and shame
              (men)     my sin and shame,
          (all)     O magnify the precious name of Jesus,
          PRAISE HIS NAME!

        Wonderful Grace of Jesus, reaching to all the lost;
        By it I have been pardoned, saved to the uttermost.
        Chains have been torn asunder, giving me liberty;
        O the Wonderful Grace of Jesus, reaches me!

          Refrain
          (men)     Wonderful the matchless Grace of Jesus,
              (women)   the matchless Grace of Jesus,
          (men)     Deeper than the mighty rolling sea;
              (women)   the rolling sea;
          (women)   Wonderful Grace, all sufficient for me, for even me
          (men)        Higher than the mountain, sparkling like a fountain,
                          All sufficient Grace for even me.
          (all)     Broader than the scope of my transgressions,
              (men)     sing it!
          (all)     Greater far than all my sin and shame
              (men)     my sin and shame,
          (all)     O magnify the precious name of Jesus,
          PRAISE HIS NAME!

        Wonderful Grace of Jesus, reaching the most defiled;
        By its transforming power,
        Making me God's dear child,
        Purchasing peace and Heaven, for all eternity;
        And the Wonderful Grace of Jesus, reaches me!

          Refrain
          (men)     Wonderful the matchless Grace of Jesus,
              (women)  the matchless Grace of Jesus,
          (men)     Deeper than the mighty rolling sea;
              (women)   the rolling sea;
          (women)   Wonderful Grace, all sufficient for me, for even me
          (men)        Higher than the mountain, sparkling like a fountain,
                          All sufficient Grace for even me.
          (all)     Broader than the scope of my transgressions,
              (men)     sing it!
          (all)     Greater far than all my sin and shame
              (men)     my sin and shame,
          (all)     O magnify the precious name of Jesus,
          PRAISE HIS NAME!
