Lyrics
I believe in a hope that’s so secure
In Your love there is no fear, salvation is sure
I believe on the cross You took my pain
All my sins are washed away, forgiven and free
And now I see
As You are, so are we
Let my life resound Your praise
As an anthem of Your grace
There is power in Your name
Hallelujah Jesus You reign
I believe I am righteous through the One
Your obedience has won, I rest in all You’ve done
I believe You are everything I need
More of You and less of me, I fall at Your feet
Mountains be cast down, valleys be raised
Christ be exalted, lifted on high
Mountains be cast down, valleys be raised
Christ be exalted, lifted on high

Meaning & Inspiration
Anthem of Grace is a confession of security in the saving work of Christ. Its first verse links divine love with freedom from fear, forgiveness, and confidence in salvation. The line about being as Christ is closely echoes the language of 1 John, while the cross remains the basis for cleansing and freedom. The chorus turns these convictions into praise, asking that an entire life proclaim grace and declaring the reign and authority of Jesus.
The second verse emphasizes righteousness received through the obedience of Christ rather than earned by human effort. Rest at the feet of Jesus expresses dependence and surrender, matching the song’s worshipful category. In the bridge, mountains lowered and valleys raised suggest the biblical image of preparing a level way for the Lord. That imagery supports the repeated desire for Christ to be exalted. Taken together, the lyrics move from assurance to adoration, presenting grace as both the source of salvation and the reason for praise.
