Learning Grace

(R&B / Soul – soft guitar chords, slow piano, quiet heartbeat bass)

I used to hate the face in the mirror

Couldn’t stand the sound of my own name

Every wrong I did still whisper clearer

Every loss still feel the same

But I can’t bleed forever for mistakes

I can’t live in every scar I make

I been stuck replaying what I broke

But I’m tired of choking on my own smoke

So I breathe in the pain I’ve known

And let the truth rebuild my bones

I’m learning grace, slow but real

Trying to forgive the man I still feel

All my sins been teaching me

That mercy starts inside of me

I’m learning grace, it hurts, it heals

Every wound’s a chance to feel

If I fall, I’ll fall in peace

Cause I’m learning grace at least

I been chasing peace I never claimed

Living scared of who I became

I said sorry to everyone else

But I never said it to myself

I been holding guilt like a chain too tight

Sleepin’ with ghosts every night

But maybe love don’t mean perfection

Maybe pain’s its own redemption

Every wrong I faced taught me how to bend

Every end became my friend

I’m learning grace, slow but real

Trying to forgive the man I still feel

All my sins been teaching me

That mercy starts inside of me

I’m learning grace, it hurts, it heals

Every wound’s a chance to feel

If I fall, I’ll fall in peace

Cause I’m learning grace at least

I ain’t pure, I ain’t clean

But I’m more human than I’ve ever been

Took the pain, turned it to light

I’m not fixed, but I’m alive tonight

I ain’t who I was before

But I don’t hate him anymore

I’m learning grace, I’m taking time

Healing don’t always walk in line

Every tear that left my face

Watered seeds I couldn’t trace

I’m learning grace, it’s slow, it’s kind

It’s a voice that says “you’ll be fine”

I may never be complete

But I’m learning grace beneath my feet

So if I stumble, if I fade

Remember how far I came

I’m still learning how to stay

Still learning grace today
