Welcome to the place of level ground
Welcome to the place where grace abounds
We all need mercy
We all need mercy
Welcome to the place where none can boast
Welcome to the place compassion flows
We all need mercy
We all need mercy
None of us are worthy on our own
None of us could keep the perfect law
None of us have lived a sinless life
But thanks be to God
He sent us all a Saviour
Jesus Christ
The only God of grace
Favour and forgiveness flowing down
Jesus Christ
Once for all You gave
Saving us forever through Your blood
You are the only God of grace
Paul Baloche & Brian Doerksen
