Giver of Grace (The Source: New Songs 1/10)

While I have a short break from AOV, this is one from The Source: New Songs Vol One – I haven’t done one from this collection since October.

This is by Stuart Townend, a very successful English Christian musician and is from 1998.

My backing is at 75 bpm and BIAB added an intro (Emaj7   / E7     ). The tune does little for me and the lyrics of the chorus are too repetitious, but I acknowledge that context changes things and it is likely a useful slow P&W song. You can hear a snippet of it performed live here.

Verse 1

Giver of grace
How priceless Your love for me
Purer than silver more costly than gold
Giver of life all that I’ll ever need
Strength for my body and food for my soul

Chorus

Oh You are good so good to me
Yes You are good so good to me
Oh You are good so good to me
Yes You are good so good to me

Verse 2

Giver of hope Rock of salvation
Tower of refuge yet there in my pain
Now I’m secure loved for eternity
Showered with blessings
And lavished with grace

Refrain

Bridge

I’ve never known a love
So perfect in its faithfulness
It lifts me up to the highest place
A glimpse of heaven
And a taste of my inheritance
I know that one day I’ll be with You

Verse 1

Chorus
