Grace Ran Deeper

[Verse 1] Ohhhh—the years I spent—countin all the wrongs, Thinking the ledger had to be just right. Every failure shouldn’t be a crossed out line— Weighing on me heavy—in my mind Or tryin to hide the worst ones outta sight. Cause when mercy stepped in—mercy never even opened that book— Ohhh—mercy never asked to even look Mercy just said—look now on my face— Then He wrapped me up—with His loving arms of grace. [Pre-Chorus] Ohhh—I thought I’d had to be someone I could never be— Then forgiveness opened my eyes—so I could see [Chorus] Grace doesn’t ask where you’ve been, Grace only asks you—if it can come in. Grace doesn’t wait till your perfect and whole— Grace takes you as you are—just to save your soul. Where sin ran deep—grace ran deeper still, Down every road and over every hill. I couldn’t earn it then— I can’t repay it—no matter how or when— I only know I once was lost, But grace somehow found me—all the way from an old rugged cross [Verse 2] There’s a chair at the table—set just for you and me There’s a light in the window for a weary traveler to see There’s a Father watching down the road along our way Waitin for His child who wants to come home today You can rehearse every reason you’re unworthy, You can say He’d never save anyone like me— But the blood of Jesus tells a different story to those who will believe And grace has never yet been any easier to receive. [Pre-Chorus] There’s no stairway to Heaven for you to find— Jesus since before all time began—has had you on His mind [Chorus] Grace doesn’t ask where you’ve been, Grace only asks you—if it can come in. Grace doesn’t wait till your perfect and whole— Grace takes you as you are—just to save your soul. Where sin ran deep—grace ran deeper still, Down every road and over every hill. I couldn’t earn it then— I can’t repay it—no matter how or when— I only know I once was lost, But grace somehow found me—all the way from an old rugged cross [Bridge — begins quiet] Grace for the guilty. Grace for the proud. Grace for the one—who will call His name out loud. Grace for the wanderer—who lost their way Grace for the weak—who stayed longer than they meant to stay No price in my hand. No good I could bring. No debt left to pay— Jesus paid everything. [Chorus] Grace doesn’t ask where you’ve been, Grace only asks you—if it can come in. Grace doesn’t wait till your perfect and whole— Grace takes you as you are—just to save your soul. Where sin ran deep—grace ran deeper still, Down every road and over every hill. I couldn’t earn it then— I can’t repay it—no matter how or when— I only know I once was lost, But grace somehow found me—all the way from an old rugged cross [Outro — harmony voices entering one at a time] Grace was enough… Grace is enough… Grace will always be enough… [Final line — nearly a cappella] When I had blinded eyes—oh I could not see— Grace offered Jesus—just for me.
