The hymn Grace Greater Than Our Sin, written by Julia H. Johnston with music by Daniel B. Towner, is a powerful proclamation of God's boundless mercy. Rooted in Romans 5:20—"where sin increased, grace abounded all the more"—the hymn celebrates the redemptive power of divine grace that overcomes even the deepest guilt. With its memorable refrain, “Grace, grace, God’s grace,” it offers reassurance and hope to all who seek forgiveness, reminding believers that no sin is too great to be washed away by God’s love.


Marvelous grace of our loving Lord,
Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt!
Yonder on Calvary's mount out-poured–
There where the blood of the Lamb was spilt.
Refrain:
Grace, grace, God's grace,
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
Grace, grace, God's grace,
Grace that is greater than all our sin!
2 Sin and despair, like the sea-waves cold,
Threaten the soul with infinite loss;
Grace that is greater– yes, grace untold–
Points to the Refuge, the mighty Cross. [Refrain]
3 Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,
Freely bestowed on all who believe!
All who are longing to see His face,
Will you this moment His grace receive?
