Grace. By Phil Wickham
The sky is grey and the light is far
The sea is a rage within my heart
I turn my sight to the crashing waves
I cry in the night just to be saved
I need eyes to be my guide
I need a voice that’s louder than mine
I need hope I need You
Cause I can’t do this alone
Grace I call Your name
Oh won’t Your smile fall over me
I’m cracked and dry on hands and knees
Oh sweet grace rain down on me I need You grace
I pray for dawn a new day to live
I pray for mercy only Jesus gives
Though darkness falls and a million cry
I believe over all there’s a greater light shining for us
Come down and save me
The sky is grey and the light is far
The sea is a rage within my heart
I turn my sight to the crashing waves
I cry in the night just to be saved
I need eyes to be my guide
I need a voice that’s louder than mine
I need hope I need You
Cause I can’t do this alone
Grace I call Your name
Oh won’t Your smile fall over me
I’m cracked and dry on hands and knees
Oh sweet grace rain down on me I need You grace
I pray for dawn a new day to live
I pray for mercy only Jesus gives
Though darkness falls and a million cry
I believe over all there’s a greater light shining for us
Come down and save me
I love this song and with the music it's even better. I'm craving grace in my life lately. I don't think I can ever get enough. The thing is I am FINALLY beginning to understand that my Father's grace from above is given and in limitless amounts. All that I have to do is accept it. Done. But I'm learning that to the degree that I 'know' and comprehend God's grace towards me, that is the degree of grace that I will have towards others. Therefore if I'm not extending grace to those around me, then I'm not understanding the grace that God is granting to me. That grace He gives that is renewing by the second! The very fact that I am still breathing yells multitudes of grace on my life!! Believe me, I'm not perfect {most of you know this ;p} and am constantly being put back on my heels because I push through this life daily thinking I have the power, the ability, the strength to do it myself. And some of you know, very well, the pain that can be caused to myself as well as to the people around me. But God is good and merciful and FULL of GRACE! Thank goodness that He is ready and willing... and just waiting to pour it out on us.
I want to choose to accept it!

Come close listen to the story
About a love more faithful than the morning
The Father gave his only son just to save us
The earth was shaking in the dark
All creation felt the Father's broken heart
Tears were filling heaven's eyes
The day that true love died, the day that true love died
When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn't move came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day that true love died, the day that true love died
Search your heart, you know you can't deny it
Come on, lose your life just so you can find it
The Father gave his only son just to save us
The earth was shaking in the dark
All creation felt the father's broken heart
Tears were filling heaven's eyes
The day that true love died, the day that true love died
When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn't move came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day that true love died, the day that true love died
Now Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
oh He is alive
He rose again
When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn't move came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day that true love died, the day that true love died
Come close listen to the story

How someone can write, read, or hear these words and not get chills, get tears, get some sort of emotion is truely beyond me.
Jesus is the story of True Love. He was a perfect man, sinless {look for yourself in the bible, find something He did wrong} and then proceeded to die and sinners death. Why? Why would He do something so crazy, so selfless, so humbling, so not what any of us would do?!
True love, that's why.
I love the line in this song also by Phil Wickham that says 'listen to a story about a love more faithful than the morning'. Some times I can hear that line in my head over and over and over, but i never get sick of hearing it. I think its a wonderful thing to be reminded of constantly, of how faithful God really is in our lives. Simple things that prove that faithfulness: Do we question wether or not the sun will go down sometime this evening? Or that sometime in early morning it will rise again? Wow! Yet I doubt sometimes and believe that God may have forgotten about me and even though I don't sit around a think that to myself, my actions show my doubt. My lacking to just trust Him, so I worry about little unimportant things. Stupid things.
