Eyes of Grace

Hate the Sin and not the sinner

I was told when I found Grace
As He served so I could be His
I must serve to share His grace

How then do I hate the sin

If they think that I hate them
To let You judge and only love
Not to fear but just to care

I asked You to reveal the way

To reach their hearts and feel their pain
To stand on truth because it heals
And let them know your love is real

In Your Word there was a time

When men condemned someone to die
And you asked those who stood by
To cast a stone if sin denied

And when you wrote upon the sand

Not even one could raise a hand
They turned away and could not face
Their sinful hearts in need of grace

Then I remembered love that flowed

Still in my sin Your grace bestowed
On your forgiveness now I stand
No victory by my own hand

The pain, the lies, the circumstance

When I thought there was no chance
How can I hate or judge or shun
Those from the very place I’ve come

When in paradise by grace

Among the saved I see their face
How will I look them in the eye
If I know I passed them by

No difference here or there between us

It is Your Grace that has redeemed us
And Your Word that speaks the truth
Into our hearts and makes us new
