Grace Wins Lyrics

In my weakest moment i see you
Shaking your head in disgrace
I can read the disapointment
Written all over your face

Here come those wispers in my ear
Saying who do you think you are
Looks like you are on your own from here
Because grace can never reach that far

But in the shadow of the shame
Beat down by all the blame
I hear you call my name
Saying its not over
But my heart starts to beat so loud
Now drowning out the dout
I'm down but i'm not out

Theres a war between guilt and grace
And there fighting for a sacred space
But i'm living proof
Grace wins every time

No more lying down in deaths defeat
Now i'm rising up in victory
Singing Hallelujah
Grace Wins every time

Words cant describe the way it feels
When mercy floods a thirsty soul
A Broken side begins to heal
And grace returns what guilt has stole

But in the shadow of the shame
Beat down by all the blame
I hear you call my name
Saying its not over
But my heart starts to beat so loud
Now drowning out the dout
I'm down but i'm not out

Theres a war between guilt and grace
And there fighting for a sacred space
But i'm living proof
Grace wins every time

No more lying down in deaths defeat
Now i'm rising up in victory
Singing Hallelujah
Grace Wins every time

For the Prodical son
Grace Wins
For the Woman at the well
Grace Wins
For the blind men and the begger
Grace Wins
For always and forever
Grace Wins
For the lost out on the street
Grace Wins
For the worst part of you and me
Grace Wins
For the thief on the cross
Grace Wins
For the world that is lost

Theres a war between guilt and grace
And there fighting for a sacred space
But i'm living proof
Grace wins every time

No more lying down in deaths defeat
Now i'm rising up in victory
Singing Hallelujah
Grace Wins every time

Every time

Yah i'm living proof
Grace wins every time
