Profound lyrics

These are the lyrics from the song Grace by Stavesacre. They have been a favorite band of mine for quite some time, like 7 years or more. This song speaks so deeply to what we do when we sin, and what grace is. Oh what a wonderous God we have that when we seek the least of whores, he calls us back through the all-surpassing grace he has gifted us. Grace is so much more than just getting what we don't deserve. It is the active drawing of our God back to himself when we have so foolishly turned our faces from him in sin.

When I was a mountain, strong with stone, silver and gold
Strip-mined wildly, spent it all
Leaving only stone

(Chorus)

But Grace, are You hangin’ on for me?
Tell me it’s true, You still do
Come back around this way

When I was Your lover – passionate and bright as the stars
Left You for the least of whores
Broke Your precious heart

(Chorus)

“Oh, I’ve been standing right here, all along.

My dear, I’ve been standing right here
Ever as before
Oh, I want nothing more than you
Stay please, come back to My arms and
Rest your weary head,
Don’t ever leave again,
Beloved.”

(Chorus)

Grace
Grace –

“Oh, I’ve been standing right here all along.”
