Blood and Grace: A Grandfather's Gospel

[Intro]
Son, hear my story, these words from my heart, 
A journey from darkness to light, a brand new start.

[Verse 1]
There was a time I danced with the night, broke all the rules, no wrong or right,
Laughs and drinks, I chased my thrill, lost myself in reckless will.
Till one fateful night under the moon, I hit a life, a child too soon,
I stared in shock, my soul tore, that night I knew I wanted more.

[Pre-Chorus]
In my prison cell I found my peace, got down on my knees, asked for release,
Heard the Word, and found the grace, in Jesus' love, I found my place.

[Chorus]
Redemption's power, flowing free, white as snow, it covers me,
Blood that heals and sets us free, that’s the mercy of the King’s decree.
A real man stands with humble heart, forgiving others, doing his part,
By His stripes I'm made whole, Jesus reigns within my soul.

[Verse 2]
Now I walk these streets with a new song, sharing hope where hearts gone wrong,
Preaching love, salvation’s reign, breaking chains, releasing pain.
You ask what’s manhood, what’s true, it’s standing firm, forgiving too,
Loving neighbors, living pure, God's Word, forever sure.

[Pre-Chorus]
From prodigal to lost and found, His grace abounds, no more bound,
Once was lost, now I've seen, theBlessed cross, where love was gleaned.

[Chorus]
Redemption's power, flowing free, white as snow, it covers me,
Blood that heals and sets us free, that’s the mercy of the King’s decree.
A real man stands with humble heart, forgiving others, doing his part,
By His stripes I'm made whole, Jesus reigns within my soul.

[Bridge]
Son, the greatest man is not in vain, but kneels in love, bears the pain,
It's in the blood, in the sacrifice, Jesus paid the ultimate price.
Turn to Him, lay your pride, in His mercy, abide,
Faith in Christ, the way, the truth, everlasting life, eternal proof.

[Outro]
So when you ask what makes a man, it’s grace that leads him through and stands,
With open heart, forgiving too, just like our Lord Jesus knew.
