KDMusic has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called The Grace.
THE GRACE is a new worship song with an easily learned, compelling melody to help you & your community sing the Benediction or "The Grace" from 2 Corinthians 13. It uses a familiar structure and joyful Irish melody lines. There are three verses on: The love of the Father, The grace of the Son & the fellowship of the Spirit.
"Initial inspiration for THE GRACE was this episode of BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs with England footballer Ian Wright. His clear love for teacher & father figure Mr. Pigden, a retired WWII Spitfire pilot, moved many people to tears. It reminded us of our own experience of God as adoptive Father with Jesus as our hero & brother. However, it just missed out on the sense of new life through the Fellowship of the Spirit, so we were inevitably drawn to write the song as an exposition of this much-loved benediction."
THE GRACE is written by Ian Hannah & Dave Whitcroft from the music team of Keswick at Portstewart, N.Ireland. Theological supervision & guidance is from Joe Kapolyo (Scripture Union & TCCA Zambia | All Nations Christian College, Hertfordshire | Harare Baptist, Zimbabwe | Edmonton Baptist, London). Additional thanks to Steve Duncan (Echo Lake Bible Camp, BC Canada).
Scriptural sources include: 2 Corinthians 13 | 1 Corinthians 13 | Hebrews 4 | Ephesians 1 & 2 | Romans 6 | Romans 12 | John 14 ~ and many others.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
We have a Father whose love endures
Patient, forgiving, our hope secure
You have adopted us as your own
Delight to see us approach your throne
[Chorus]
Love from the Father, and grace from the Son
Joined by the Spirit, eternal “Three in One”
For you’ve made me your child and that cannot be undone
That’s the power, that’s the grace of the Gospel
[Verse 2]
We have a Saviour whose grace so free,
Poured out his riches for bankruptcy
Sprung from our prisons of sin and shame,
We lift our praise to your glorious name
[Verse 3]
Filled by his Spirit who breathes new life
Called to be holy, alive in Christ
Your truth transforms us, renews our minds
Your constant presence, our guard, our guide
[Outro]
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God,
And the fellowship of the Spirit be with you
Evermore
