Grace to Believe

As in the beginning so it will be unto the end

You are our maker and our redeemer , you are our friend.

Though we hated you when we were dead in all our sin

Still you came for us, saved us so we could begin again.

Perfected in holy trust

Transform this lowly dust

Turn our fallow minds into ones that can believe

You give the grace to believe

Open our eyes to see

And you give us your mercy to receive

Youíve chosen to make us just

Declaring us righteous when we trust

And this power to trust is only from your hand

For dead men may not believe

There is no way they can receive

And the masterís call they cannot understand.

Perfected in holy trust

Transform this lowly dust

Turn our fallow minds into ones that can believe

You give the grace to believe

Open our eyes to see

And you give us your mercy to receive
