Micah 7:19

Like a weary traveller I was seeking a fountain

Like an orphaned child I was seeking a home

I had a load of sin seemed like a mountain

And I was carrying it wherever I roamed.

But with faith the size of a mustard seed

God let me say "Mountain- be removed to the sea"

Cast into the depths of an ocean of grace

He put His righteousness there in its place.

Covered in a ocean of Grace,

Hid in the light of the Most Holy Place

There I will meet him and see face to Face

The wonders I was meant to embrace!

I was climbing a mountain of rules and of deeds

And reaching the summit was always my goal

Bound up and gagged by the weight of my needs

Taking one step forward and then back down the slope

But through faith in His grace I was set free

God let me say "Mountain- be removed to the sea"

Cast into the depths of an ocean of grace

He put His righteousness there in its place.

Covered in an ocean of Grace,

Hid in the light of the Most Holy Place

There I will meet him and see face to Face

The wonders I was meant to embrace!

If you are living with a mountain of sin

There's an ocean that's deeper than the mountain is tall

All your iniquities are covered and cleansed

It is sufficient to drown them once and for all

Covered in an ocean of Grace,

Hid in the cleft of the Most Holy Place

There I will meet him and see face to Face

The wonders I was meant to embrace!
