The Weight of Grace

I’ve walked through shadows, I’ve carried the blame,
Built my walls with fear and shame.
Every prayer I left unsaid,
Still found its way to heaven’s bed.

I chased control, I fought for pride,
But the hardest war was fought inside.
I fell apart, and still You stayed,
Love that strong can’t be repaid.

Now I’m learning to let go,
Of all I thought I had to own.

‘Cause the weight of grace is heavier than gold,
It breaks you down to make you whole.
It’s the peace that burns, the truth that aches,
The quiet power that failure makes.
When I couldn’t stand, You carried me
That’s the weight the weight of grace.

I’ve tried to earn what can’t be bought,
Paid in tears for lessons taught.
But mercy’s not a debt I owe,
It’s the gift that taught my soul to grow.

Every scar that marked my past,
Became the light that led me back.
Now I see with humble eyes,
Even pain can sanctify.

I don’t need to prove my worth,
You found me long before my birth.

‘Cause the weight of grace is heavier than gold,
It breaks you down to make you whole.
It’s the peace that burns, the truth that aches,
The quiet power that failure makes.
When I couldn’t stand, You carried me
That’s the weight the weight of grace.

It’s not the storm that made me clean,
It’s who I found when I couldn’t see.
The cross I bore, the pain I faced,
All fall beneath the weight of grace.

‘Cause the weight of grace is light as air,
But it pulls you close from your despair.
It’s the fire that heals, the calm that stays,
The song that rises from the graves.
I’m not who I was, I’ve found my place
Under the weight the weight of grace.

And if I fall again
I’ll fall into grace.
