GRACE by Laura Story

I found a new artist with lyrics that I LOVE. Lyrics and a style and voice. As I downloaded the album from iTunes and sat listening to through some of the songs. This one that I posted the lyrics of below, GRACE, just struck a chord deep. Check it out Laura Story and her album Great God Who Saves

She has a pretty amazing testimony that goes with the album, "Great God Who Saves" It's a short video explaining of her marriage to her high school sweetheart and then him getting brain cancer recently and walking through their marriage vows, "In sickness and in health"--living those vows out. It's pretty humbling. I know several people personally that I love that have lived this out in their marriages as well and can only pray that I would be so Grace filled and loving. If you can't think of anyone personally, think of Joni Tada and her husband. If you go to this link, and scroll down, you can listen to the songs on the CD Great God who Saves as well as a couple videos of she and her husband and the story of what they've gone through.


GRACE
My heart is so proud. My mind is so unfocused.
I see the things You do through me as great things I have done. And now You gently break me, then lovingly You take me and hold me as my father and mold me as my maker.

Chorus:
I ask you: "How many times will you pick me up, when I keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory, how far will forgiveness abound?"
And you answer: " My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face, You'll walk in the pow'r of My daily sufficient grace."

At times I may grow weak and feel a bit discouraged, knowing that someone, somewhere could do a better job. For who am I to serve You?I know I don't deserve You. And that's the part that burns in my heart and keeps me hanging on.

Chorus*
I ask you: "How many times will you pick me up, when I keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory, how far will forgiveness abounds?"
And you answer: " My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face, You'll walk in the pow'r of My daily sufficient grace."
You are so patient with me, Lord.

As I walk with You, I'm learning what Your grace really means. The price that I could never pay was paid at Calvary. So, instead of trying to repay You, I'm learning to simply obey You
by giving up my life to you For all that You've given to me.

Chorus:
I ask you: "How many times will you pick me up, when I keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory, how far will forgiveness abounds?"
And you answer: " My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face, You'll walk in the pow'r of My daily sufficient grace."
