Grace Turns Gold

{elegant grand piano intro,

lush sweeping strings,

warm upright

bass,

slow swung

tempo} Before the foundation of the world was laid

My name was written,

my ransom fully paid

Not by my choosing,

but by Your sovereign grace

You set Your love upon

this dusty face {intimate crooner baritone vocal,

velvet delivery, soft brushed drums,

warm acoustic bass}

Your holy counsel stands forever sure

Your saving mercy, timeless and secure

No hand can pluck me from Your mighty hand

Decreed in wisdom, just as You have planned {vocal swells with confidence,

sweeping strings rise slightly,

warm saxophones enter}

Oh,

the deep, deep love,

the goodness and the light

That called a sleeping soul from deepest night

From first to last,

the glory is Your own My hope is anchored to

Your sovereign throne (oh,

Your grace) {orchestra swells fully,

soaring strings and elegant muted trumpets,

triumphant but warm} No power of hell,

no scheme of human pride Can turn Your chosen

covenant aside You drew me in,

You held my wandering heart And what You started,

You will never part {dynamic shift,

slightly quieter, piano and strings lead,

vocal is close and tender}

To the only Wise King

Be all the praise (all the praise) {vocal fades to a whisper,

solo trombone, slow ritardando,

grand piano final chord,

warm string resolve}
