S. Song Nail-Pierced Grace John 15:9
GRACE! Composers never tire of looking for a new way to describe it!
May the text's imagery stir hearts to run to the Savior's arms,
those that are lost... and those that are disillusioned.
Lyrics:1. If there were no storm clouds, there would be no need of faith.
If there were no shadows, we would feel secure and safe.
But the path of life we travel is plagued with twists and turns.
Like a child who senses danger, it's for outstretched arms we yearn.
Refrain:
That's when Jesus says, "Come to Me and enter My embrace."
That's when Jesus says, "See My hands? They offer nail-pierced grace!"
When He calls us to His side, He whispers, "Be My Bride."
"Come closer, closer. In My love abide."
"Come closer, closer. In My love abide."
2. In the midst of trials Jesus is the Prince of Peace.
In the midst of trouble He's the Source of sweet release.
When the path we're on gets steeper and more than we can bear,
That's the time He longs to lift us with surrounding arms that care.
Refrain:
That's when Jesus says, "Come to Me and enter My embrace."
That's when Jesus says, "See My hands? They offer nail-pierced grace!"
When He calls us to His side, He whispers, "Be My Bride."
"Come closer, closer. In My love abide."
"Come closer, closer. In My love abide."
