Unworthy

Romans 5:8-9 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 

Jesus died for you and me, revealing His love while we were yet sinners. 


He saves us by grace and faith because the guilt of sin has been removed.  


We are so unworthy. 


Unworthy

Unworthy am I of the grace that He gave,    —    Unworthy to hold to His hand;    —    Amazed that a King would reach down to a slave,    —    This love I cannot understand. 


CHORUS:

Unworthy, unworthy, a beggar; — In bondage and alone; — But He made me worthy and now by His grace, —  His mercy has made me His own.


My sorrow and sickness laid stripes on His back,    —    My sins caused the blood that was shed;    —    My faults and my failures have woven a crown  —  Of thorns, that He wore on His head. 


Unworthy am I of the glory to come,  —  Unworthy with angels to sing; —I thrill just to know that He loved me so much, — A pauper, I walk with the King .
