Where would I be without Your grace?
I'd be lost without Your grace
How could I live without Your grace?
The life that I have is by Your grace
I am free, I'm forgiven
By Your work at Calvary
You gave me a life worth living
Now the chains are broken, chains are broken
I am saved by grace
Love abounding, mercy found me
I am saved by grace, yeah
And I have life and it's only by Your grace, oh, oh yeah
It's only by Your grace, oh, oh
Where would I be without Your grace?
I'd be lost without Your grace
How could I live without Your grace?
The life that I have is by Your grace
I am free, I'm forgiven
By Your work at Calvary
You gave me a life worth living
Now the chains are broken, chains are broken
Chains are broken
I am saved by grace
Love abounding, mercy found me
So I am saved by grace, oh yeah
I have life and it's only by Your grace
I am saved by grace
Oh, love abounding, mercy found me

"Saved By Grace" is a powerful worship song by Israel Houghton that reminds us of the incredible gift of God's grace in our lives. It is a song that speaks to the core of our faith and highlights our dependence on God's grace for salvation and life.
From the opening lines, "Where would I be without Your grace? I'd be lost without Your grace," we are immediately drawn into the recognition of our desperate need for God's grace. The song acknowledges that without His grace, we would be lost and without hope. It humbles us and reminds us of the immense love and mercy God has shown us through His grace.
One of the standout aspects of this song is its emphasis on the life-changing power of God's grace. It proclaims that we are not only forgiven and set free by His grace, but that we are given a new life worth living. The lyrics say, "You gave me a life worth living, Now the chains are broken, chains are broken." This speaks to the transformation that takes place when we receive God's grace. It breaks the chains of sin and bondage in our lives and allows us to experience true freedom in Christ.
Throughout the song, Israel Houghton beautifully expresses the overwhelming gratitude for God's grace. He sings, "I am saved by grace, Love abounding, mercy found me." These lyrics remind us that it is God's love and mercy that found us and saved us. We did not earn or deserve His grace, but it was freely given to us out of His great love for us.
In terms of biblical references, "Saved By Grace" aligns with several key verses that highlight the theme of God's grace and its significance in our salvation. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." This verse reminds us that our salvation is entirely the result of God's grace, not our own efforts or merits.
Another verse that relates to the song is Titus 3:5, which says, "He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit." This verse emphasizes that our salvation is not based on our own righteousness or good deeds, but on God's mercy and grace. It is through His grace that we are washed clean, reborn, and renewed by the Holy Spirit.
In conclusion, "Saved By Grace" by Israel Houghton is a beautiful song that encapsulates the essence of our faith in Jesus Christ.
