Another T

Another T song. I couldn't resist because the song lent itself so well. Here's another Nat King Cole classic, Unforgettable, by Irving Gordon with new words about total depravity.


Totally depraved, that's what we are
Totally depraved in deed and heart
Like some filthy rags, foul and unclean
Is the value of our righteous deeds
Like Adam before, no one could be more

Totally depraved in every way
And forever more we would have stayed
That's why it is so incredible
That Christ gave His life impeccable
For one so totally depraved, too.

Here's the original song:

Give me an "I"

I know this isn't in order but this came to me sooner than the "L". This little song on Irresistible Grace is based on Embraceable You by George and Ira Gershwin.

You saved me, by irresistible grace
Your Spirit drew me to look on Your face

Once my heart was dead
A sinner vile, full of pride
But Your call awoke
me from the dead to new life

This conquering, amazing grace will perfect
This call will not fail to reach the elect

I can call You my Father
Undeserving and I know it's through
Your irresistible grace


For your listening pleasure, here is the incomparable Nat King Cole singing the original song:
