A Friend Called Grace
Allison Durham Speer
Tears dripped off of her crimson face She covered her head tried to hide in shame Caught and condemned, now she can't get away Just a pawn in the hands of a Pharisee game. Then the noise and the rage of the frenzied grew As they struggled for the power in an ageless fued. As she softly cried, they again reviewed The obvious fate of this ill-repute. Then a voice of love ended all debate. His words of hope sent the crowds away. The hands that flung the stars in space Lifted her face as she heard Him say, Let me introduce you to a friend called grace Doesn't care about your past or your many mistakes Covers your sin in a warm embrace Let me introduce you to a friend a friend called grace. The courtroom crowd grew quiet and still As the white robed judge called truth appeared. And the ring of the gavel brought a fierce debate As the players of eternity decided my fate. In the light of the truth I could clearly see That the facts made the trial a formality And my accuser stood with bated breath Confident conviction would end in death But from a blood stained cross to a witness stand Walked a man with hope in his nailed scared hands The words He spoke brought me sweet release whispered He whispered, "I've a friend that you need to meet" If you're tired of the guilt and the sleepless nights And running from the shame of a wasted life There's someone standing with an open hand Waiting there to give you a second chance Let me introduce you to a friend called grace Doesn't care about your past or your many mistakes Covers your sin in a warm embrace Let me introduce you to a friend a friend called grace.
