Starting a new wave in worship music, The Modern Post, led by Dustin Kensrue, brought a fresh mix of rock sounds and honest faith-based lyrics. Their EP, The Water & The Blood, was praised for being both deep and genuine.

This fresh approach opened doors for other creative bands, such as Kings Kaleidoscope, who took things further by blending hip-hop, rock, and orchestral sounds. Their album Zeal earned Dove Award nominations and loyal fans.

Sharing the same heart for new worship styles, Jonathan Ogden of Rivers & Robots crafts calming songs with a blend of soft acoustic and electronic music that bring peace.

About the Song

Grace Alone is a worship song that reminds us we live, stand, and are saved only by God’s grace. Its message is simple and powerful: We rely on His love, not our strength.

Each artist brought a unique sound to the project. Though the music changes, the message stays the same: God’s grace is everything, and that truth brings peace and hope.

Grace Alone Lyrics by The Modern Post

I was an orphan, lost at the fall
Running away when I’d hear Your call
But Father, You worked Your will

I had no righteousness of my own
I had no right to draw near Your throne
But Father, You loved me still

And in love before You laid the world’s foundation
You predestined to adopt me as Your own
You have raised me up so high above my station
I’m a child of God by grace and grace alone

And You left your home to seek out the lost
You knew the great and terrible cost
But Jesus, Your face was set

And I worked my fingers down to the bone
And nothing I did could ever atone
But Jesus, You paid my debt

And by Your blood, I have redemption and salvation
Lord, You died that I might reap what you have sown
And You rose that I might be a new creation
I am born again by grace and grace alone

And I was in darkness all of my life
I never knew the day from the night
But Spirit, You made me see

I swore I knew the way on my own
A head full of rocks, a heart made of stone
But Spirit, You moved in me

And at Your touch, my sleeping Spirit was awakened
On my darkened heart, the light of Christ has shone
Called into a kingdom that cannot be shaken
Heaven’s citizen by grace and grace alone

So I’ll stand in faith by grace and grace alone
I will run the race by grace and grace alone
I will slay my sins by grace and grace alone
And I will reach the end by grace and grace alone
