Lyrics
STATE OF GRACE
Words and Music Copyright 2003 by Patricia W. Felker
Verse 1:
Walking in this holy place,
I'm walking in a state of pure acceptance,
Growing in His mercy, drawing on His strength,
The peace of God upon my face,
No more wringing of my hands,
No more wond'ring where I stand...
Chorus:
I have fin'lly welcomed His grace
I am through with counting mistakes
I have packed my bags and got out of that place,
And moved to the STATE OF GRACE
Verse 2:
It never should have been this hard
It never should have taken years to get here,
Wish I could have skipped some ruts along the road
Saved myuself these travelling scars,
Fought a few less battles on the way
Saved my strength for where I am today
(Chorus)
Bridge:
God has rescued me, (He rescued me)
His mercy (His mercy) set me free!
(He set me free)
(He set me free)
(Chorus)
And moved to the STATE OF GRACE
I've moved to the STATE.......OF GRACE
