I was lost when you found me here
You pulled me close and held me near
And I'm a fool but still you love
I'll be your fool for the king of love
He gave me wings so I could fly
And gave me a song to color the sky
And all I have is all from you
And all I want is all of you
It's grace, your grace
I'm nothing without you
Your grace, your grace
Shines on me
And there've been days when I've walked away
Too much to carry
Nothing left to say
Forgive me Lord when I'm weak and lost
You traded heaven for a wooden cross
And all these years you've carried me
You've been my eyes when I could not see
And beauty grows in the driving rain
Your oil of gladness in the times of pain
It's grace, your grace
I'm nothing without you
Your grace, your grace
Shines on me
Your grace, your grace
I'm nothing without you
Your grace, your grace
Shines on me oh yeah
Shines on me
Shines on me
Your grace it shines on me
Shines on me
Shines on me
It's your grace
Shines on me
Shines on me
Your grace is shines on me
Shines on me
Shines on me
It's your grace
About This Song
"Grace" is a deeply personal worship ballad that explores the transformative power of divine love through the lens of human unworthiness and redemption. The song captures the profound theological concept that God's grace is unmerited favor-loving someone not because they deserve it, but despite their flaws and failures. Smith's lyrics reveal a narrator who acknowledges his foolishness and tendency to walk away from faith, yet marvels at being pursued and embraced by unconditional love. The musical arrangement features Smith's signature piano-driven style with lush orchestration that builds from intimate verses to soaring, anthemic choruses, creating an emotional arc that mirrors the spiritual journey described. The repeated declaration "I'm nothing without You" isn't self-deprecation but rather a recognition of complete dependence on divine grace for identity and purpose. What makes this song particularly resonant is its honest portrayal of spiritual struggle-the tension between human weakness and divine strength-rather than presenting a sanitized version of faith. The production balances contemporary Christian pop sensibilities with timeless worship elements, making it accessible to both radio audiences and congregational settings. Smith's vulnerable vocal delivery and the song's universal themes of redemption and belonging have made it a cornerstone piece that speaks to anyone who has experienced unconditional love despite their imperfections.
