Breath of Grace Lyric
Breath of Grace Lyric
I can’t explain it – this nothing to live for day
Rock bottom shame – spirit bleeding
Slashed by yesterday’s regret – soul out on the edge
Can’t face another sunrise…
Lost in a labyrinth – running from “if only”
Hunted by the past – no escaping –
Chased into the dark by lies – questions haunt the night –
“Is this all there is to life?”
Chorus
But
I keep believing there’s a miracle
On the other side of midnight –
Healing on the other side of dawn;
It takes courage to live for the morning –
Desperation to reach out for tomorrow –
But the breath of grace is for today.
One soul laid bare now – cringing in the daylight –
Ev’ry nerve exposed – crying, knowing –
Just can’t hide the shame away – can’t repair the past –
Can’t change the face of hist’ry.
Chorus
But,
I keep believing there’s a miracle
On the other side of midnight –
Healing on the other side of dawn;
It takes courage to live for the morning –
Desperation to reach out for tomorrow –
But the breath of grace is for today.
Bridge
Healing hurts – I can’t explain it -
It's like a fire - like a fire burning -
But somewhere on the way –
On the way to dyin’ -
We find the grace of life!
Chorus
I keep believing there’s a miracle
On the other side of midnight –
Healing on the other side of dawn;
It takes courage to live for the morning –
Desperation to reach out for tomorrow –
But the breath of grace is for today!
