"OUTSIDE OF YOUR GRACE"
Words and Music by Peter Merz
God I'll make this up
To you somehow
But first there's one or two things
I need to figure out
Don't want to let You down
Don't want to hurt You
But lately it seems
That's the only thing I ever do
Did my soul's GPS break
Or somehow lose its signal
My choices lately seem off
The good I long to do just shrivels
Chorus:
I can hear You there
Calling out my name
Words of forgiveness
Break down the walls of shame
Your love breaks these chains of blame
I Can feel Your sweet embrace
God what do I do now
How will this all play out
How do I turn my back on
All my doubts
My past is catching up
Trying to break my vows
All I know is I don't want to be
Outside of Your Grace
Yeah all I know is I don't want to be
Outside of Your Grace
God how I wish there was
A simple workaround
But sin has this way
Of making life outward-bound
Old ghosts delight
In tainting my purest thought
Oh I need something stronger
Than glorified tommyrot
I've got a problem here
None of this feels right
How did my faith get so sketchy
Why am I rolling the dice
REPEAT CHORUS
Bridge:
Oh God You know
What my heart's been craving
Give it to me straight
Without any graying
If You can reach me
It's You I will be praising
Yeah, If You can reach me
It's You I will be praising
REPEAT CHORUS
