A Place Called Grace
Journey of Redemption: A Place Called Grace
Lyrics
So many years I heard it told
Reflecting on the story heard over many years
The story of compassion
Describing a narrative of compassion
A prodigal son who left the fold
Depicting the prodigal son leaving and straying
And found no satisfaction
Expressing dissatisfaction in worldly pursuits
On my knees, Lord, I cried out to You
Praying to the Lord while on one's knees
“I'm so alone
Confessing feelings of loneliness
But if there's room in Your house for one more
Expressing willingness to return to God's house
I'm ready to come back home”
Readiness to come back home to God
I know there is a place
Acknowledging the existence of a place
Where arms of compassion welcome me home
Describing a place where compassion embraces the individual
Sweet mercy falls like rain
Depicting mercy falling like rain
I know there's a place called grace
Affirming the knowledge of a place called grace
So many days I've trusted grace
Having trust in grace over numerous days
Yet I have to wonder
Expressing a sense of wonder despite trust in grace
How many times my human strength
Reflecting on instances where personal strength hindered surrender
Has kept me from surrender
Acknowledging the impact of human strength on surrender
The more I learn just to lean on the cross
Highlighting the correlation between learning and leaning on the cross
The more I see
Emphasizing the increasing understanding through learning
When I fall, I will fall to the place
Expressing the intention to fall to a specific place in times of need
Where mercy reaches me
Identifying the place where mercy reaches the individual
If it seems that my courage is strong
Addressing the appearance of strong courage
There's just one reason
Attributing courage to reliance on a solid foundation
He's my rock when my faith is all gone
Stating the reason behind courage—faith in a reliable source
He holds me in His arms
Portraying being held in the arms of the divine
Gives me strength to carry on
Receiving strength to persevere
