Grace Falls

A song about hope overtaking despair

Geese flying over lake at sunrise—photo by author

Grace wakes up alone again
She wonders just how long it’s been
Since she dared to hope things would change
She stumbles down the darkened hall
Illuminates the bathroom wall
And stares into the mirror at her face
It seems just too much to hope
Her life would ever have the scope
To matter to a God so far away

Chorus
Grace falls — into despair again
Grace falls — to an old familiar friend
But what she doesn’t know
Is behind the scenes He loves her so

Grace drives to her job again
That perfect prison made by man
And she wonders how she’ll make it through the day
There has to be more to this life
Than constant pain and constant strife
She doesn’t see the meaning of it all
She’s tired of living empty days
She doesn’t have the strength to praise
She needs to have a reason to believe

Chorus
Grace falls — into despair again
Grace falls — to an old familiar friend
But what she doesn’t know
Is behind the scenes He loves her so

Grace returns home once more
And tries very hard to ignore
The emptiness that echos through the night
Anxiety sneaks up on her
Clarity becomes a blur
So she prays for the strength to face her fears.
Panic slowly starts to ease
As she rises from her knees
She feels the hand of God reach out to her

Chorus
Grace falls—into His open arms
Grace falls — safe from earthly harm
And though the world remains
His love is enough to break her chains

I fall — into His open arms
I fall — safe from earthly harm
And though the world remains
His love is enough to break my chains
Yes, love is enough to break your chains

Blessings,
