Marvelous
Bishop T.D. Jakes and the Potter's House Mass Choir Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have you ever felt a touch from the heavens above
Man, I'm thanking God for all the times that he called me His son
I know His grace and it's magnificent, knowing of its benefits
But yet sometimes, I be feeling far from being innocent
Knowing mistakes, He's seeing over and over
How many times I get depressed from this heart that's getting colder
But you reminded me about my sins on your shoulders
And how you nailed it on a cross and through your blood, you drew me closer
And ever since then I've known the meaning of your love
Doesn't matter what I did, doesn't matter what you've done
But all that really matters is that you embrace His eternal gift
Life in the heavens with Christ, nothing compares to this
So please remember this, knowing the father's generous
His love is tender, nothing is better, His grace is effortless
And it's so marvelous knowing He came to rescue you
By dying on a cross and in 3 days, He came to rescue you

Through faith, I was saved by grace
Through faith, I was saved by grace
Through faith, I was saved by grace
Marvelous Grace... Marvelous Grace... Marvelous Grace

Lord if it wasn't for your grace, I never would've made it through
I was coughing from all the chocking, runny nose from the tears I drew
I was like king of the blues, I was on my BB King
Like a bird flying high because I forgot just how to sing
I was hiding in the clouds, didn't want no one to see me
Put my music real low, I don't want people to hear me
I was in a bad place; felt I had fallen from grace
But even in the midst of that, I stilled cried out for His embrace
If there's one thing I've learned, it's I can't and he can
Though there's bruises and some scars, he still enables me to stand
Philippians 4:13, it says "I can do everything"
Through Christ who strengthens me, that means that he enables me
First part is saving grace; I accepted that gift when I called him my Lord
Next part is enabling grace; maturing the gifts to fulfill his call
Last part is sufficient grace; sustaining me to keep on standing tall
Man I'm simply amazed, His marvelous grace protects me so I do not fall

Through faith, I was saved by grace
Through faith, I was saved by grace
Through faith, I was saved by grace
Marvelous Grace... Marvelous Grace... Marvelous Grace

He's sufficient, efficient, proficient, magnificent
Yes he is omniscient and he is omnipotent
Once you let Him enter in, He's sweeter than Entenmann's
Taste and partake of His marvelous... marvelous... marvelous grace
He's sufficient, efficient, proficient, magnificent
Yes he is omniscient and he is omnipotent
Once you let Him enter in, He's sweeter than Entenmann's
Taste and partake of His marvelous... marvelous... marvelous grace

Through faith, I was saved by grace
Through faith, I was saved by grace
Through faith, I was saved by grace
Marvelous Grace... Marvelous Grace... Marvelous Grace
