Lyrics
Verso 1
Siendo yo un pecador
Extraviado en el error
Incapaz fui de quitar
La culpa que cargaba
Mi corazón
Verso 2
¿Tu gracia, quién puede medir?
Tu amor no tiene uno igual
Cuando perdido estaba yo
Viniste a mi encuentro
Mi Salvador
Coro
Fue Tu gracia
Que mi vida renovó
Fue Tu gracia
Que mi deuda canceló
Fue Tu gracia
Que de muerte me llevó
A vivir para Tu gloria, oh Señor
Verso 3
En la cruz donde murió
El perfecto Hijo de Dios
La sentencia Él sufrió
La que yo merecía
Por mi maldad
Verso 4
Tu gracia me ha traído aquí
De rodillas ante Ti
Maravillado al comprender
Que a Tu Hijo entregaste
En mi lugar

Meaning & Inspiration
"Fue Tu Gracia" ("It Was Your Grace") traces a conversion narrative from confusion to worship, opening with a confession of being a sinner lost in error, unable to remove the guilt weighing on the heart. That honest admission of helplessness sets up the song's central claim, repeated in its chorus, that grace alone accomplished what personal effort could not.
The chorus lists specific effects of that grace: a renewed life, a canceled debt, and a rescue from death into a life lived for God's glory. Each line credits grace directly as the acting cause, avoiding any suggestion that the change described resulted from personal merit or effort.
The third verse turns to the cross, describing the perfect Son of God suffering the sentence deserved by the singer because of sin, grounding the song's earlier claims about grace in a specific act of substitution. The closing verse responds with wonder at the exchange described, kneeling before God upon realizing that his Son was given in the singer's place. Rooted in contemporary Spanish-language worship, the song moves from confession through substitution to grateful surrender.
