lyrics

Worthy

Man and woman had a baby,
decided Grace was the perfect name
oh how that couple loved their baby,
their lives would never be the same
but things turned out to more complicated,
than Grace’s mom and dad had planned
up until the night her mom left them,
life felt just like sinking sand
Her dad would pray for comfort in those stormy times
he’d snuggle with his daughter and
rock her in his arms and see her smile
and then he’d sing
(chorus)
You are worthy of love, you are worthy of life
You’re God’s child, know this truth,
nothing can separate us
from the love of God

Grace grew up to be a little spitfire,
trouble seemed to be her middle name
Some said they’d never seen so much anger
pent up in a little girl her age
on the playground Grace would lash out at her friends
and when She would get in trouble
her teacher’d take her by the hand and calm her down
and then she’d say

For awhile life came together in her teenage years
When she found a girl named faith who became her friend
Faith knew how to listen she seemed to care for everyone
and one night in a conversation,
Faith could sense Grace hurting,
asked her what was wrong, said, do you know God loves you?
And this is what Grace said;

I hate myself for all the things I have done
there’s no way that God could love me if God knew just even one. Sometimes I’m so angry I just cry in the night.
I can’t let go. I can’t let go.
Grace, I know that Sometimes if feels like God isn’t real.
But the hurts in your life are so big
only God can heal them.
Know that God can handle your burdens and still love you so.
Please Grace know, Please Grace know.

Wouldn’t it be great if life were that simple
just hear some words and change your ways
but at that time Grace wasn’t ready
she lived through more self destructive days

Grace and Faith their friendship drifted
Exchanging emails now and then
Grace keeps trying to make headway
And so Faith prays this for her friend
She hopes that someday Grace can look back at her life
Can remember those that love her
and look in to the mirror and claim the truth
as she says
