Circle of Grace

Verse 1

I was standin’ in the wreckage

Of choices I had made,

Tryin’ to find tomorrow

Through yesterday’s mistakes.

The road was gettin’ heavy,

My soul was wearin’ thin,

Then I felt a hand upon me,

And the light came rushin’ in.

Pre-Chorus

‘Cause when I couldn’t carry

The weight upon my back,

Love stepped beside me

And kept me on the track.

Chorus

That’s the circle of grace, the mercy we receive,

The arms that hold us up when we’re too weak to believe.

From a father’s prayer to a mother’s faith,

From a friend’s “I’m here” to amazing grace,

It keeps on movin’, never slows its pace,

We’re all standin’ somewhere in the circle of grace.

Verse 2

Back when we were just two dreamers

Talkin’ underneath the stars,

We never knew how much we’d travel

Or how far love really was.

Now we’re weatherin’ the storms together,

Hand in hand through every phase,

Findin’ every day’s a little stronger

Inside this circle of grace.

Pre-Chorus

When we’re stubborn, when we’re tired,

When we’re barely gettin’ by,

Grace reminds us why we started,

And helps us try one more time.

Chorus

That’s the circle of grace, the mercy we receive,

The arms that hold us up when we’re too weak to believe.

From a father’s prayer to a mother’s faith,

From a friend’s “I’m here” to amazing grace,

It keeps on movin’, never slows its pace,

We’re all standin’ somewhere in the circle of grace.

Bridge

I see it in the pastor

Prayin’ for the lost and weak,

In the teacher and the nurse

Who give more than they can keep.

In the worker punchin’ in,

In the husband stayin’ true,

Every act of selfless love

Lets a little grace shine through.

Rap Verse

Yeah, I’ve been down in the valley where the shadows stay,

Tryin’ to fight my battles, tryin’ to find my way.

Then a hand reached out when I was losin’ hope,

Reminded me I wasn’t at the end of my rope.

A little bit of mercy, a little bit of light,

Can carry a soul through the darkest night.

What you give comes back, that’s the beautiful truth,

Grace keeps the circle alive in me and you.

Through the highs and the lows, through the joy and pain,

Love keeps showin’ up again and again.

And every heart that’s been helped can help somebody else,

That’s how heaven keeps movin’ through all of us.

Final Chorus

That’s the circle of grace, the mercy we receive,

The arms that hold us up when we’re too weak to believe.

From a father’s prayer to a mother’s faith,

From a friend’s “I’m here” to amazing grace,

It keeps on movin’, never slows its pace,

We’re all standin’ somewhere in the circle of grace.

Repeat Outro

Round and round, it finds its way,

The circle of grace, the circle of grace.

Through every heart and every day,

The circle of grace, the circle of grace.

When I stumble, when I fall,

Your mercy’s there to catch it all.

Hand to hand and soul to soul,

Your love keeps making broken whole.

Repeat

The circle of grace, the circle of grace,

We’re all held up in the circle of grace.

The circle of grace, the circle of grace,

We’re all held up in the circle of grace
