A Friend called Grace

Tears dripped off of her crimson face
She covered her head tried to hide the shame
Caught and condemned now she can’t get away
Just a pawn in the hands of a Pharisee game
The noise and the rage of the frenzy grew
As they struggled for the power in an ageless feud
And as she softly cried they again reviewed
The obvious fate of this ill repute
Then a voice of His love ended all debate
When His words of a hope sent the crowd away
The hand that flung the stars in space
Lifted her face and she heard Him say


CHORUS
Let me introduce you to a friend called grace
Doesn’t care about your past or your many mistakes
He’ll cover your sins in a warm embrace
Let me introduce you to a friend
A friend called Grace


VERSE
The courtroom crowd grew quiet and still
As the White Robed Judge called truth appeared
As the ring of the gavel brought a fierce debate
The players of eternity decided my fate
In the light of truth all could clearly see
The facts made the trial mere formality
And my accusers stood with faded breath
Confident conviction would end in death
But from the Blood Stained Cross to the witness stand
Walked a man with a hope in His nail scared hand
The words that He spoke brought me sweet release
He whispered I’m a friend that you need to meet

CHORUS

BRIDGE
If you’re tired of the guilt and the sleepless nights
Runnin’ from the shame of a wasted life
Someone is standing with an open hand
Waiting there to give you a second chance

CHORUS
Let me introduce you to a friend called grace
Doesn’t care about your past or your many mistakes
He’ll cover your sins in a warm embrace
Let me introduce you to a friend

The boys at Petra can still play and sing pretty well. Enjoy!
