[Verse — Arminius] You say before we breathe the air Our names are written, fixed somewhere Before we walk, before we fall God’s verdict’s spoken over all But Christ calls sinners far and wide Not just a list pre-certified If grace is love and mercy true Why call the world if none can choose? Man is fallen — yes I agree But grace awakens eyes to see The Spirit moves, the sinner hears Yet leaves the will responsible here God sees ahead who will believe And those are whom He will receive Election stands — but here’s the key God chooses those He foresees believe [Verse — Calvin] You’re right that man is dead in sin Corruption runs beneath the skin But Scripture presses deeper still The fall destroyed the rebel will Dead in sin — the Word has said Not wounded souls but Walking Dead You say God looked through time to see Who’d place their faith and then agree But faith itself God must supply Or every sinner still would die Ephesians speaks — the gift is faith Not something human hearts create And if belief begins with man You shift salvation’s final plan If man decides who heaven redeems Then man gets credit behind the scenes [Chorus] Who saves?God alone. Who callsThe heart of stone? Grace that raises from the grave Or man who chooses to be saved? [Verse — Arminius] But if the will is bound by decree And none can turn themselves to Thee Then why does Christ with tears implore The hearts that still refuse His door? He wept for souls who turned away A grace rejected that very day A call that reaches every land Yet doesn’t force the sinner’s hand [Verse - Calvin] You preach a cross that opens doors And waits to see who walks the floors A Savior hoping men comply While rebels choose to pass Him by But Christ didn’t bleed for “maybe saved” He called His sheep out of the grave You say the dead can seek the light But corpses never start that fight When Jesus called outside the tomb Lazarus rose — He didn’t choose The Shepherd speaks — the dead arise His voice creates the faith inside If God just chose the ones who’d believe That means His choice depends on me But when God speaks and sinners rise The glory alone belongs to Christ [Verse - Calvin] In Romans 9, the twins are named Before their deeds, before their fame “Jacob I loved,” the Scriptures say God’s purpose stood before their day Not by the will, not by the race But God who shows redeeming grace The potter shapes the yielding clay Who answers back and dares to say? Who are you, man, to question God? The dust that argues with the rod The vessels formed for wrath or grace All bow before the Potter’s place [Chorus] Who saves?God alone. Who callsThe heart of stone? Grace that raises from the graveSalvation belongs to Christ alone.
