Grace (Spoken Word)

Grace.

Let it fall like an ocean

Let it rip through the skies

Let it fill up my heart and pour out my eyes

Let it gravitate my soul

Let it make me feel whole

Let it remind me of why I live

Let it remind me of all that you give!

 

Grace

Let my heart be made still and let mine eyes be opened!

Let me remember that my ears

were made to listen

And my lips exist for a lot more than just kissin'

Let me remember that these hands simply cannot do it all

Cuz see I wasn't made for that

I wasn't made for that at all

 

Grace

I was made to live and when I say live I think I mean give

But then I quickly realize I can only give so much!

And there's only so many lives I can touch!

Well how can I love if I can't constantly give

And how can I live if I can't constantly love but

Where's the hope in the God above if I'm the one doin' all the work?

And that's when I remember I accomplish the most when I just let go

And let You grab hold

 

Grace

Well what were these hands made for if not feeding the poor?

And what are these heart-wrenching feelings of constantly wanting more?

Why do my bones ache and my soul quake at the thought

Of living for myself?

Why do I worry so much about putting the marginalized on the shelf?

Why do I worry

about a life that loves hell?

Well maybe all this

is an unidentified desire to glorify God personified in Jesus Christ crucified

 

Grace

And maybe my soul's been singin' songs to my saviour since the day I was born

And maybe my saviour's been singin' sweet lullabies to quench the fear in my eyes

Maybe not all is lost

Maybe hope and salvation really come without cost

WELL TRY AND TELL THAT TO THE MAN LIVIN' ON THE STREET WITH NOTHIN' TO EAT

an'

TELL THAT TO THE CHILD WHOSE FATHER GIVES HIM A DAILY BEATING

TELL THE MURDERER'S AND RAPISTS THAT THEY CAN GO FREE

TELL THEIR VICTIMS...

Tell them what?

 

Grace

Maybe it's time I remembered I don't have all the answers

Maybe it's time I remembered I am a speck of dust in a rolling beach of existence

Maybe it's time I look at what's right in front of me

And not strain my neck as far as the eye can see

Maybe it's time to focus on living and not just surviving

Maybe thriving looks more like trusting than trying

Maybe all the answers to my questions aren't really answers at all

Maybe it's alright that my walk sometimes feels like a crawl

Maybe 100% of the wrongs I do are all my fault

 

Grace

Maybe God's lookin' at me like a child set free

Maybe God's not lookin' at who I used to be

Maybe God's lookin' right past all the bitterness and apathy

Maybe God really does look at the heart

And maybe He's been holding mine from the very start

Maybe this is all going according to plan and if it's not well then maybe God's still using it to help me become a better man

Maybe it's time I stopped trying to figure all this out!

 

Grace

Let it be felt

Tangibly
