His was a voice, fuelled by truth, that spoke to us of God's grace in a way that we could understand and take hold of,
His was a life defined by grace, for a time and for a reason, and so we bow and give thanks to God for the life of our brother.

It's just like God to make a hero from a sinner,
It's just like God to choose the loser, not the winner,
It's just like God to tell a story through the weak, to let the gospel speak through the life of a man who'd be the first to say...

Cheer up church: you're worse off than you think,
Cheer up church: you're standing at the brink,
Don't despair, do not fear - grace is near.

Cheer up church: you're worse off than you think,
Cheer up church: you're standing at the brink,
Don't despair, do not fear - grace is near,
Don't despair and do not fear, 'cause grace is near.
