Grace
Embracing Divine Grace: Saint James' Journey to Redemption
Lyrics
I gotta get right with Ya
Expressing a need to reconcile with a higher power or God.
Thinkin' I could do it on my own is the biggest mistake I ever made on my own
Recognizing the mistake of believing self-sufficiency was possible.
Yea-yea-yea
An exclamation emphasizing a feeling or emotion.
I need You right now
Reiterating the need for divine presence, especially during difficult times.
When no one else was around, I need You right now
-I need You right now
-I'm so grateful
Expressing gratitude.
I never realized all of my favor
Realization of the blessings or advantages previously overlooked.
'Cause I just wanted to be famous
Admission of desiring fame but recognizing the greater importance of other things.
I know that life is so dangerous, yeah
Acknowledging the risks and challenges in life.
But imma glorify His name, see I know I had to
Commitment to glorify a higher power despite personal desires.
Had to put a little swag on it, oh
Adding personal style or attitude to the dedication for a higher purpose.
You deserve the most swag on it
-Had to go real hard for it
-They don't understand I'm covered in His blood
Feeling spiritually protected and covered by divine love and grace.
Head to toe, yea, I'm covered in His love
-I got protection from above, yeah
-I got people tryin' to bring me down
Acknowledging challenges and adversaries but feeling protected spiritually.
But my lifeline is for a lifetime yea
-I got protection from all around
-Angels around me, yea, they hold it down
-But you can bury my body, but my soul still fly
Belief in spiritual resilience, even in the face of physical harm.
You could kill me, but my soul still fly
-You could kill me, but my soul still fly
-I realized, I'm the son of a King
Realization of having a significant spiritual heritage or connection.
I hope you realize
-Ain't nobody holdin' me down, ain't nobody takin' me out
Confidence in spiritual strength, feeling unshakeable.
Ain't nobody takin' my soul away from me like whoa-whoa-whoa, yeah uh
-Every time I messed up, yea, He put me back
Recognition of divine forgiveness and restoration despite personal failures.
Every time I messed up, yea, He took me back
-Imagine for a split second
Illustrating the concept of grace as receiving without deserving.
Receiving anything and everything you ever wanted
-Without doing anything for it
-Now that's grace
-Grace is unmerited, undeserved favor
Defining grace as unearned favor, access to what's beyond one's merit.
In other words
-Receiving unlimited access to something we weren't supposed to have clearance to
-Ephesians chapter 4, verse 7 says
Quoting biblical verses to emphasize the concept of grace given by Christ.
"But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it"
-Which means that you have the clearance and ability through God
Asserting that through faith in God, one gains access to destined opportunities.
To reach every single door that God has designed you to ultimately reach
-You have grace
Reaffirmation of possessing grace, unmerited favor.
