It's From The LordBy Peter Gringhuis, Elton Smith and Larry HolderCCLI Number: 5395925Peter sent this music. It sounded so 'live', it seemed appropriate to add a virtual concert crowd. Larry and I wrote the lyrics based on Ephesians 2:8-9. Many thanks to Nicole de Jong and Margriet Brasz for singing backup vocals, and to Filco Kruit for playing the extremely cool electric guitar parts. - Elton, 10 January 2009 ![]() ![]()
It is not by things that I have done
It is not by trials that I have overcome It is not by my own sweat and tears Or service I've performed throughout the years It is not by doing all I can It is not by following a careful plan It is not by merit or reward It is not of me, it's from the Lord! It's by the mercy and the grace that He has shown It's by the Words of Life that lead us to His throne It's by His Spirit that our souls are born anew We cannot boast -- it is God's gift to me and you! It is not by things that I have done It is not by trials that I have overcome It is not by my own sweat and tears Or service I've performed throughout the years It's by the mercy and the grace that He has shown It's by the Words of Life that lead us to His throne It's by His Spirit that our souls are born anew We cannot boast -- it is God's gift to me and you! (guitar solo) It is not by things that I have done It is not by trials that I have overcome It is not by my own sweat and tears Or service I've performed throughout the years It is not by doing all I can It is not by following a careful plan It is not by merit or reward It is not of me, it's from the Lord!

And yes, we seek honour and recognition,
But honour and recognition for whom?
Raise up your good deeds, and your noble acts,
For they are to be done in God's precious name,
In humble thanksgiving, for the gift of eternal life - through Jesus Christ we are home at last!
