Set my Love as a Seal
Steve Swanson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thereβ€²s a lot of pain but a lot more healing.
There's a lot of trouble but a lot more peace
Thereβ€²s a lot of hate but a lot more loving.
There's a lot of sin but a lot more grace

Outrageous grace! outrageous grace!
Love unfurled by heavens hand.
Through my Jesus i can stand.

There's a lot of fear but a lot more freedom
Thereβ€²s a lot of darkness but a lot more light.
Thereβ€²s a lot of clouds but alot more vision!
There's a lot of death but a lot more life!

Iβ€²m gonna stand! I'm gonna stand!
Weβ€²re gonna stand! We're gonna stand!
Weβ€²re gonna stand
By grace! By grace!
When we've done all we can do to stand.
We're gonna stand
When weβ€²ve done all we can do to stand,
Weβ€²re gonna rise up like an eagle and
Soar on the winds of grace, grace grace!

If there's a mountain in my way all I gotta do is say grace.
Grace to the mountain! Be thou removed.
You gotta go from here to there .
Grace! Grace! Grace! Outrageous grace!





Thank you Jesus! Thank you Jesus!
Thank you Jesus! For Your grace. 2x
