I wrote this song about five years ago, but it still speaks to me of the beauty of Grace in our everyday lives. I wish I could share the melody with you - but at least the words are here. Take a moment to breathe, and realize anew the Grace that is all around us...
UPDATE: I found an old video I made over a year ago with this song as the background music! So now I can share how it sounds with the music. :) This video is a sad one for me - it was made when I was revelling in being the mother of four children. Unfortunately, after living in our home for a year, and just before the adoption finalized, the state decided to return the two little ones to their birthmother (despite the fact that the baby girl had no idea who she was). It's been nine months since they left, and it's still very hard -- the entire family misses them.
Anyway, I posted the video to my blog so you can click on Neuropoetry if you want to hear what it souds like - the video isn't the best, but the words are still there... The Glory of Grace There's a wonder In butterfly wings There's a mercy in Life's dance There's a laughter in tears A silence that speaks There's a new morning's second chance The gift of each day The privilege to pray And one day see His face All because of - The Glory of Grace chorus: The Glory of Grace It's in the rainbow Of each dawn's sunrise The Glory of Grace It's the fresh hope Of a newborn's cry The Glory of Grace It's the moment of truth In this world of lies The Glory of Grace It's in every breath In this Gift called Life There's a reality Angel's cannot grasp There's a moment more alive than birth There's a Peace in death There's a Life undying There's more than this life that gives you worth This is freedom's song Ringing loud and long We echo back our praise Singing of - The Glory of Grace chorus In the crown of thorns On our Savior's brow In the cruel cross where He died In His Life - His Love In the world He made In each tear that He cried There we hear the story Of Mercy that sets us free Steadfast - we run our race And trust in - The Glory of Grace
