God at Work Wrap-Up

Oct. 1, 2007 Dave Barnhart

I hope you’ve enjoyed the series God at Work. It has been a great experience to spend a month talking about grace and how grace works in our lives. I did not find an appropriate place to share these lyrics in a sermon, so I thought I’d share them here:

Grace
She takes the blame
She covers the shame
Removes the stain
It could be her name

Grace
It’s a name for a girl
It’s also a thought that changed the world
And when she walks on the street
You can hear the strings
Grace finds goodness in everything

Grace, she’s got the walk
Not on a ramp or on chalk
She’s got the time to talk
She travels outside of karma
She travels outside of karma
When she goes to work
You can hear her strings
Grace finds beauty in everything

Grace, she carries a world on her hips
No champagne flute for her lips
No twirls or skips between her fingertips
She carries a pearl in perfect condition

What once was hurt
What once was friction
What left a mark
No longer stings
Because grace makes beauty
Out of ugly things

Grace makes beauty out of ugly things

-Grace, by U2 from their album All That You Can’t Leave Behind
