Grace
Webbe Simon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Reaching out, looking for som way to escape the crowd
You whispered words that I've been searching for
Somehow you answered my call
Reaching out I feel I'm rising up

[Chorus]
You give me (grace)
In a world that doesn't sleep at all
You give me (grace)
It's a place I've never been before
You give me (grace)
And in all of the confusion you're the peace in my soul
That's why I will never really be alone

Suddenly, I'm up on the surface now where I can see
And picture the person who I need to be
And I know, yes I know I can make it
See me now, I'm slowly rising up

[Chorus]

Well yeah, these are difficult times
These are difficult days
But I know we can face it
Ours are different lives
In a difficult place
Oh you give me grace to say when I got wrong
The grace and the will to carry on
Reaching out I feel I'm rising up





[Chorus: x 2]

Praise God for the lyric: "You're not the author of confusion, you're the peace in my soul!  Amen!

@RickieJames

I believe it's "In all of the confusion", not "You're the author of confusion".

This song is so so underrated. Simon deserved more after he went solo... This song used to get me through dark days in my life. Still does. Means so much to me.

Simon Webbe is truly under appreciated. The Grace album is one of the best albums of 2006! From Coming Around Again, Seventeen and No Worries! Stunned by the level of views his music has received!! Sanctuary was just as wonderful an album and shocked by the views
