Point of Grace Lyrics

Fight
How clever is my pride
How it deceives my mind
To think I'm in control
When I've really lost it all
How brilliant is my greed
For what it says I need
And then I've come to find I'm empty on the inside

Real
My heart is aching to be real
So I'm coming to you

With all of my broken motives
All of my selfish dreams
All of my foolishness
Now I understand where it leads
I want to be in Your love
I want to be so much more
I know You're reaching out
So what am I fighting You for
What am I fighting You for

How quick is my doubt
To leave my heart without
The presence of Your peace
So that I scarce believe
How battered is my guilt
To crush the life You've built
To keep me far away from any kind of change

Real
My heart is aching to be real
So I'm coming to you

With all of my broken motives
All of my selfish dreams
All of my foolishness
Now I understand where it leads
I want to be in Your love
I want to be so much more
I know You're reaching out
So what am I fighting You for
What am I fighting You for

'Cause only You can save me
And only You can change me
And only You can love me

Here I come, Here I come
So I come to You

With all of my broken motives
All of my selfish dreams
All of my foolishness
Now I understand what it means
I want to be in Your love
I want to be so much more
I know You're reaching out
So what am I fighting You for
What am I fighting You for

With all of my broken motives
All of my selfish dreams
All of my foolishness
Now I understand where it leads
I want to be in Your love
I want to be so much more
I know You're reaching out
I don't want to fight anymore
I don't want to fight

You Are Good
When it's dark and it's cold and I can't feel my soul
You are still good
When the world has gone gray and the rain's here to stay
You are still good

With every breath I take in
I'll tell you I'm grateful again
And the storm may swell even then it is well
You are good

So how can I thank You
And what can I bring
What can a poor man lay at the feet of a king
So I'll sing you a love song
It's all that I have
To tell You I'm grateful
For holding my life in Your hands

Heal the Wound
I used to wish that I could rewrite history
I used to dream that each mistake could be erased
Then I could just pretend
I never knew the me back then

I used to pray that You would take this shame away
Hide all the evidence of who I've been
But it's the memory of
The place You brought me from
That keeps me on my knees
And even though I'm free

Heal the wound but leave the scar
A reminder of how merciful You are
I am broken, torn apart
Take the pieces of this heart
And heal the wound but leave the scar

I have not lived a life that boasts of anything
I don't take pride in what I bring
But I'll build an altar with
The rubble that You've found me in
And every stone will sing
Of what You can redeem

Heal the wound but leave the scar
A reminder of how merciful You are
I am broken, torn apart
Take the pieces of this heart
And heal the wound but leave the scar

Don't let me forget
Everything You've done for me
Don't let me forget
The beauty in the suffering

Heal the wound but leave the scar
A reminder of how merciful You are
I am broken, torn apart
Take the pieces of this heart
And heal the wound but leave the scar

This last song is just so beautiful. How I long to be able to say that. Right now I'm not like just heal the wound already. I have trouble seeing beauty in the suffering... I know God doesn't test me beyond what I can bear... but I can't help but think sometimes that He has overestimated me....
