The kindness of the one offended

With nail pierced hands the chasm mended

Salvation’s work we cannot own

His grace alone that none may boast
Gm C7 F
His grace alone that none may boast

Whilst feet were prone to wandering

In fields forbidden lingering

With gentleness his rod and staff

On building what would never last

Jesus Christ the stone rejected

’Twas he alone that none may boast
Gm F/A Bb
Salvation’s work we cannot own

’Twas grace alone that none may boast
Gm C7 F
