“Grace is God as heart surgeon, cracking open your chest, removing your heart—poisoned as it is with pride and pain—and replacing it with his own. Rather than tell you to change, he creates the change. Do you clean up so he can accept you? No, he accepts you and begins cleaning you up. His dream isn’t just to get you into heaven but to get heaven into you.” - Max Lucado, Grace: More Than We Deserve, Greater Than We Imagine Grace upon grace, pouring over my soul Bleeding through doubts, past darkest fears Restoring my song, breathing love to console Feelings silence the ache – love’s in control Reaching beyond grief, silencing the tears Grace upon grace, pouring over my soul Melodies of light, blessing, while God I’ll extol Memories so alive, singing through the years Restoring my song, breathing love to console Perfect music weeps, my heart, love surely stole Whispers of light fall as the worst shadow clears Grace upon grace, pouring over my soul Harmonizing with God’s voice makes one whole As my life reveals gentleness the heart hears Restoring my song, breathing love to console This song, bursting with love, has been my goal My heart will welcome Jesus with endless cheers Grace upon grace, pouring over my soul Restoring my song, breathing love to console
