I well remember when I saw Myself condemned before the law Heard Sinai's awful thunders roll While fear possessed my trembling soul
"Not under law," that could not save But doomed me to a hopeless grave "But under grace," where I am free Through Jesus Christ who died for me
'Twas then in sore dismay I turned And sought the mercy I had spurned 'Twas then, by faith, mine eyes could see Christ dying on the cross for me
That rapturous hour I'll ne'er forget When God forgave me all my debt And, what the law could ne'er have done His grace accomlished by His Son

No more the treat'ning law I dread But I have constant peace instead And live, through Him who took my place "Not underlaw but under grace."
No condemnation now have I Unclouded sunshine fills my sky Mine is a happy dwelling place "Not underlaw but under grace."
