Keith Green - Grace By Which I Stand

One of my favorite Keith Green songs. This means more to me the older I get and reminds me of my frailty before God and my absolute dependence on His Spirit and grace to make me what He wants me to be.
GRACE BY WHICH I STAND
(words & music by Keith Green)
Lord, the feelings are not the same
I guess I'm older, I guess I've changed
And how I wish it had been explained
That as you're growing, you must remember
That nothing lasts except the grace of God
By which I stand in Jesus
I know that I would surely fall away
Except for grace by which I'm saved
Lord, I remember that special day
I vowed to serve You when it was brand new
But, like Peter, I can't even watch and pray
One hour with You
And I bet I could deny You, too
But nothing lasts except the grace of God
By which I stand in Jesus
I know that my whole life would waste away
Except for grace by which I'm saved

Thanks brother. Keith’s music is timeless, so it sounds amazing today. What people may not consider is how revolutionary he was. Church music was stuck in a traditional mindset-whether people liked hymns, gospel, or countrified. Christian music had rails before he came along. Praise God for his life. Wish we had him for longer here.

100% - after Jesus, he’ll be one of the first people I run and find in the next life.
