Arms of Grace Lyrics

Your mercies are new every day

I don't want to squander Your grace

So fill me with courage to hope

I'm holding the hem of Your garment so close

My heart was stuck in the wrong place

I would covet after things

Always in a chase

Never satisfied that guilt and shame would take up space

Always wanted more but couldn't seem to keep a pace

My heart was stuck in the wrong place

I would lock up all the pain to avoid the ache

Go back into the cycles I can't seem to break

Always wanted more and found it in Your arms of grace

Looking in the mirror do I know who I am?

I keep drinking poisons thinking that I will withstand

I wonder why I do this to myself

Is this my plan?

These cravings never go away

They stronger with demand

So I ran, back to You

I'm sorry Father God for leaving I abused truth

I got religious in my ways

Playing church, but wouldn't pray

My heart has wondered far

Didn't realize I had strayed from Your aid

Your mercies are new every day

I don't want to squander Your grace

So fill me with courage to hope

I'm holding the hem of Your garment so close

My heart was stuck in the wrong place

I would covet after things

Always in a chase

Never satisfied that guilt and shame would take up space

Always wanted more but couldn't seem to keep a pace

My heart was stuck in the wrong place

I would lock up all the pain to avoid the ache

Go back into the cycles I can't seem to break

Always wanted more and found it in Your arms of grace

Looking in the mirror I don't question who I am

I'm drinking living water you can't stop it with a dam

I'm saved by the King death has lost its sting

No weapon formed against me gonna thrive in this ring, no

Jesus brought me home

I'm sealed with Holy Spirit and it's time to grow

Open up my eyes and go

Thank You for repentance and not casting stones

You created flesh and bone

Light the way when I go roam

Let my heart know that it's home

Your mercies are new every day

I don't want to squander Your grace

So fill me with courage to hope

I'm holding the hem of Your garment so close

My heart was stuck in the wrong place

I would covet after things

Always in a chase

Never satisfied that guilt and shame would take up space

Always wanted more but couldn't seem to keep a pace

My heart was stuck in the wrong place

I would lock up all the pain to avoid the ache

Go back into the cycles I can't seem to break

Always wanted more and found it in Your arms of grace
