That's Why There's Grace

Sometimes you just walk into something.

I ran across the lyrics to this song the other day: That's Why There's Grace. I'd never heard of it, nor the singer, Kendall Payne. But I did like the lyrics, so I searched the internet to find the song itself. I found it on GodTube.

I don't personally feel in pain, like the person that she's singing to. However, I know many people in pain, and I work with people in pain. I think these words are really very good, and so I wanted to share the song here.

Sometimes you just walk into something.



I know you feel forgotten
I know you feel confused
I know your hope’s been shattered
I know your solitude

You can’t find the reasons to believe anymore
Don’t hide your thoughts from me

That’s why I died, that’s why I live
I know every part of you that you won’t forgive
That’s why I try to reach you today
I know that it’s hard to have faith through the pain
That’s why there’s grace, That’s why there’s grace.

I know the days are dark now
I know the fear runs deep
I know there is redemption
I know one day you’ll make peace

You can’t fight the feelings, they are wearing your down
Don’t hide your shame from me

That’s why I died, that’s why I live
I know every part of you that you won’t forgive
That’s why I try to reach you today
I know that it’s hard to have faith through the pain
That’s why there’s grace, That’s why there’s grace
That’s why there’s grace, That’s why there’s grace.

Amazing grace how sweet the sound I once was lost but now I’m found
I once was blind but now I see amazing grace has RESCUED me
Amazing grace how sweet the sound I once was lost but now I’m found
I once was blind but now I see amazing grace has REACHED TO me
Amazing grace how sweet the sound I once was lost but now I’m found
I once was blind now I see amazing grace has COVERED me, it’s covered me

Nice lyrics :)

This kind of reminds me of another song. I can't seem to find it on youtube but I have it on this old post of mine here.

Thanks, Crystal. I just checked it out. I loved the lyrics, and it certainly does fit with the Principle and Foundation of the Exercises -- it's easy to see why it was linked. I missed that somehow, back then.
