Grace
Embracing Love's Redemption: Meshell Ndegeocello's Grace
Lyrics
Can't say I have ever been faithful
Admits to not being faithful in general
Except to God
Claims faithfulness only to God
Never felt I could call anywhere home
Has never felt a sense of belonging until finding comfort in someone's embrace
Till I fell asleep here in your arms
Expresses finding a feeling of home while sleeping in the arms of a particular person
I never thought I'd fall in love
Didn't expect to fall in love
Your love is my only saving grace
Describes the person's love as the only thing that provides salvation
You caress my heartÂ
Highlights the tenderness of the partner's touch on the heart
Kiss my face
Emphasizes the intimacy of being kissed by the beloved
Your love is my only saving grace
Reiterates the partner's love as the ultimate source of redemption
Sometimes God calls out to me to come home
Suggests feeling a call from God due to loneliness
â??Cause I feel so alone
Expresses feeling isolated and seeking comfort
Then I taste your kiss
Describes finding solace in the partner's kiss
Your touch your sweet loveÂ
Expresses the comfort and love felt through the partner's touch
I never thought I'd fall in loveÂ
Reiterates the unexpectedness of falling in love
Your love is my only saving grace
Continues to highlight the partner's love as the sole source of salvation
You caress my heartÂ
Emphasizes the soothing effect of the partner's touch on the heart
Kiss my face
Highlights the intimacy of being kissed by the beloved (repeated theme)
Your love is my only saving graceÂ
Reiterates the partner's love as the ultimate source of redemption
I never thought I'd fall in loveÂ
Expresses surprise at falling in love
I never thought I'd fall in love with you
Reiterates surprise at falling in love specifically with the person
Your love is my only saving grace
Describes the partner's love as the only thing that provides salvation
You caress my heartÂ
Highlights the tenderness of the partner's touch on the heart (repeated theme)
Kiss my face
Emphasizes the intimacy of being kissed by the beloved (repeated theme)
Your love is my only saving grace your love.
Reiterates the partner's love as the ultimate source of redemption
