GRACE EMBRACE TRACE

I don’t have time for fun and games, but they do apparently 
I don’t have time to commit a jolly crime and shut away society
Please don’t leave me in this wretched mess called confusion
Ease my mind with a grace embrace trace, undoing the lying, dying with godly solution

Embrace the silent truth of my heart
Grace will never forget you…disgrace doesn’t forgive you
Trace it on the bottom of my heart  and you’ll find out that it lasts forevermore
Embrace the violent peace of my mind
Disgrace doesn’t live for us, so die for grace
Trace it on the top of my head and you’ll be unforgotten in my memory forevermore

I do have time for no more shames and I choose to love you unconditionally
I do have time to sing you a lullaby and scream out joys tonight 
Leave me in the dust of happiness and hopes and leave it to love preciously and beautifully
Ease my mind with a grace embrace trace, undoing the lying, dying with godly might

Embrace the silent truth of my heart
Grace will never forget you…disgrace doesn’t forgive you
Trace it on the bottom of my heart  and you’ll find out that it lasts forevermore
Embrace the violent peace of my mind
Disgrace doesn’t live for us, so die for grace
Trace it on the top of my head and you’ll be unforgotten in my memory forevermore

Heart is broken in two
You have a way with words
Heart is spoken in rue
We will separate like birds

Mind is mended by grace
Mind is blended by embrace
Mind is deserted and will be without a trace
Heart is offended by disgrace
Heart is a lovely hatred with a trace 
Heart is unbroken like a vase 
Love has a way with words as always
Hate has a way to hurt us these days
Grace embraces us with or without a trace come what may…maybe, someday, it stays…
