Only Grace

My mind has been extremely active over the last few weeks, pondering the various concepts that I've been learning in classes and discussions here. Some of the most prominent things that have been going through my head revolve around the fact that failure under grace allows us to get back up and move forward. Well, a friend of mine gave me a cd and as I was listening to it while I did the homework for this specific class, this song "Only Grace" came on. I was seriously blown away by the words. It couldn't be more perfect for what I'm learning right now!

“Only Grace” by Matthew West
From the album “History”

There is no guilt here
There is no shame
No pointing fingers
There is no blame
What happened yesterday…has disappeared
The dirt has washed away
And now it's clear

There's only grace
There's only love
There's only mercy and believe me it's enough
Your sins are gone
Without a trace
And there's nothing left now
There's only grace

You're starting over now
Under the sun
You're stepping forward now
A new life has begun
Your new life has begun

An’ there's only grace
There's only love
There's only mercy and believe me…it's enough
Your sins are gone
Without a trace
And there's nothing left now
There's only grace…

And if you should fall again
Get back up, get back up
Reach out and take my hand
Get back up, get back up
Get back up again
Ohh…get…back…up…again…


There's only grace…
There's only love…
There's only mercy and believe me it's enough…it’s enough
Your sins are gone
Without a trace
And there's nothing left now
There's only…there’s only…grace…

There's only mercy and believe me it's enough…it’s enough
Your sins are gone
Without a trace
And there's nothing left now
There’s only…grace……
So get back up…get back up again…
Get back up again.



Wow, God is so good! This is exactly what has been going around in my heart and in my head, exactly what God has been teaching me and blessing me with! I can't even begin to comprehend the amount of grace that He lavishes on me daily that I do not deserve!!!!
