Featured Great Hymns and Spiritual songs about salvation by grace alone.

He left His Father's throne above,
So free, so infinite His grace;
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam's helpless race;
'Tis mercy all, immense and free;
For, O my God, it found out me.

 

The Sacred Throne, by John Kent

1. Beneath the Sacred Throne of God
I saw a river rise;
The streams were peace and pard'ning blood
Descending from the skies.

2. Angelic minds can ne'er explore
This deep, unfathomed sea;
'Tis void of bottom, brim, or shore,
And lost in Deity.

3. I stood amazed, and wondered when,
Or why this ocean rose,
That wafts salvation down to men,
His traitors and His foes.

4. That sacred flood, from Jesus' veins,
Was free to take away
A Mary's or Manasseh's stains,
Or sins more vile than they.

5. Free to the sinner, dead to God,
Who sought the road to hell,
That trampled on a Savior's blood,
And on His buckler fell.

6. Triumphant grace, and man's free will,
Shall not divide the throne;
For man's a fallen sinner still,
And Christ shall reign alone.

 

A Good WORK that has not the Grace of God is not a GOOD WORK.
Even songs can be good works.....PRAYER.
We don't pray to have oceans of water, we do pray for Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

If we lose privilege of Eternal Life on account of praising God. You can have my eternal life, loving God and praising him is worth more.

 

Another John Newton hymn from his hymn book Olney Hymns, 1779.

1. Poor, weak and worthless though I am
I have a rich almighty friend;
Jesus, the Savior, is His name;
He freely loves, and without end.

2. He ransomed me from hell with blood,
And by His power my foes controlled;
He found me, wandering far from God,
And brought me to His chosen fold.

3. He cheers my heart, my wants supplies,
And says that I shall shortly be
Enthroned with Him above the skies;
Oh! what a friend is Christ to me.

4. But, ah! my inmost spirit mourns,
And well my eyes with tears may swim,
To think of my perverse returns:
I’ve been a faithless friend to Him.

5. Often my gracious friend I grieve,
Neglect, distrust, and disobey;
And often Satan’s lies believe,
Sooner than all my friend can say.

6. He bids me always freely come,
And promises whate’er I ask:
But I am straitened, cold and dumb,
And count my privilege a task.

7. Before the world that hates His course,
My treacherous heart has throbbed with shame;
Loath to forego the world’s applause,
I hardly dare avow His name.

8. Sure, were I not most vile and base,
I could not thus my friend requite!
And were not He the God of grace,
He’d frown and spurn me from His sight.

 

No need to pick everything to death. What must I 'do' to be saved asked the man in Acts 16..."Believe" on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved" they said and so I 'did' that ...and now I'm saved. My belief...my doing....praise God. And I can still thank God for his grace that lets me (and anyone else) work out my own salvation.

 

And The Hiding Place (usually credited to Jehoiada Brewer)

1. Hail sovereign love, that first began
The scheme to rescue fallen man;
Hail, matchless free eternal grace,
That gave my soul a hiding place.

2. Against the God that built the sky,
I fought with hands uplifted high;
Despised the mansions of his grace,
Too proud to seek a hiding place.

3. Enwrapt in dark Egyptian night,
And fond of darkness more that light,
Madly I ran the sinful race,
Secure without a hiding place.

4. But lo! the eternal council rang,
Almighty love arrests the man;
I felt the arrows of distress,
And found I had no hiding place!

5. Vindictive justice stood in view,
To Sinai's fiery mount I flew;
But justice cried with frowning face,
This mountain is no hiding place!

6. But lo! a heavenly voice I heard,
And mercy's angel soon appeared:
He lead me on a pleasing pace,
To Jesus Christ, my hiding place!

7. Should seven fold storms of vengeance roll,
And shake this globe from pole to pole:
No thunder-bolt shall daunt my face,
While Jesus is my hiding place!

8. On him almighty vengeance fell,
Which else had sunk a world to hell;
He bore it for his chosen race,
And thus became a hiding place!

9. Roll on, thou sun, in rapid haste,
And bring me to that constant feast,
Where mirthful songs of sovereign grace,
Are sung to him the hiding place.

 

When Jesus hands me a command I don't ponder what its going to pay me, I just do it for free.



Luke 10
25And a lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”26And He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?” 27And he answered, “YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND; AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.” 28And He said to him, “You have answered correctly; DO THIS AND YOU WILL LIVE.”


Acts 16
30and after he brought them out, he said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”



Both say the same thing.

 

"For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men," (Titus 2:11)

Praise God He gives all mankind the grace to choose freely for ourselves whether to believe Him or not. Thank you Lord for this your marvelous grace!
