Thankful For Grace - 2
Grace called my name in a breath
Of light falling softly, gentle
Across my spirit, through my heart
Beckoning my soul to listen
With a whisper, I became His
The child who would always know
He is there, alive inside where I hope
A light of love, light of joy, light of life
Rains down a sense of new beginnings
Creating tenderness in prayers
For those who need to believe in Him
The One who gives us all the hope
We need to continue on, keep going
Never quitting or giving up on our dreams
With Him, there is the assurance
Of a love that lives and breathes,
Guides me through the heartaches
Through the darkest storms that come
On toward the joy and peace of knowing
God is alive and He is still on the throne
In control of it all despite all the fear
That seems to come to the heart
Who fails to listen to His direction
And understand the love in His protection
Grace like this is alive, a living thing
Coloring my soul in hues of kindness, gentleness
Faith in the Savior who lived and breathed
But died on a tree so that I could finally be
Saved from my sin and redeemed by His blood
Filled with unending peace, a sense of thanks
For the joy that brings my heart hope
My feelings a sense of assurance, pure love
That comes from knowing this Jesus
Who brought me through the darkness
Who is there to reveal every good thing that comes
Every joy and hope, every peace and love
All the wonders of living under His grace
With the sweetest feeling of prayer, praise
For the One who guides me through the worst
And fills my heart with a generosity, a hope
For the love that comes alive inside my soul
Because I know the One who brought me through
The shadows of pain, sorrow and shame
The discouragement of a place where I had to face
All the bad and the sad, the lonely and lost
The heartless place of despair where I yearned
To open up my heart, to share, to show the love
That is poured out on the soul who knows
That His only Son, the lover of my soul
Is alive and well, living inside my heart
Bringing peace and hope, promises of much more
Love than I could ever hope to know
Love that is filling my entire life with wonder
Grace brings to life the inspiration, the warmth
Of a life that knows God is alive, on the throne,
Giving His perfect love to the ones who know
He is the answer to every question, every prayer
Every request for a new and better way to thank Him!
