I pulled out Philip Yancey's book, "What's So Amazing About Grace?" and am re-reading it. When I began that, this song by the rock group U2 came to mind, and I wrote it on my bookmark:

quote:

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

Grace, it's the 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 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 the 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 stains
Because Grace makes beauty
Out of ugly things

Grace finds beauty in everything
Grace finds goodness in everything
