Grace for Grace

[Intro] [Handclaps, stomp-clap rhythm] [Bright acoustic guitar strum] [Banjo plucks building] [Verse 1] [Mid register] [Solo Lead Vocal] [Upright bass walking line] [Stomp-clap groove, no drums yet] I was up before the sun could find me My breath was steaming in the cold dark air Burning in my chest, it's falling behind me Every reason I had left to care [Kick drum enters] [Driving strum] I kept telling myself: hold on, hold on The weight was heavy and the night was long The first pale crack of light split open the dark And the cold filled up with something low and warm [Pre-Chorus] [Double Tracked Vocal] [Drums fill, building] [Tambourine enters] I keep thinking I should feel different by now But something quiet tells me this is how He grew — [Chorus] [Big open chorus] [Four on the floor kick] [Handclaps on the 2 and 4] [Brass stabs on the downbeat] [Double Tracked Vocal] [Upfront Vocal] Grace for grace, I'm not the same Something slow and warm has filled the cold I didn't earn this — I was being made Grace for grace, I'm not the same [Post-Chorus Instrumental] [Banjo and mandolin run, 4 bars] [Verse 2] [Mid register] [Solo Lead Vocal] [Stomp-clap groove returns] [Upright bass walking line] He didn't get the fullness from the start The One who holds the mountains and the sea He didn't skip a single step of grace Receiving what He gave — like you and me [Kick drum returns] [Mandolin accents] Not at the river and not upon the hill He walked the path until the work was done The fullness came the only way it can — Through every step He walked for everyone [Pre-Chorus] [Double Tracked Vocal] [Drums fill, building] [Brass swell] So I'm not falling behind, I'm not broken down I'm just moving through the only way I know — [Chorus] [Big open chorus] [Four on the floor kick] [Handclaps on the 2 and 4] [Brass stabs] [Double Tracked Vocal] [Tambourine] Grace for grace, I'm not the same Something slow and warm has filled the cold I didn't earn this — I was being made Grace for grace, I'm not the same [Bridge] [Key change up a whole step] [Hammond B3 organ enters] [Gospel Choir Start] [Full Harmony Stack] [Stadium drums, floor tom pounding] [Brass section swell] I used to push and grind and try to earn my way I thought the change was waiting at the end But I can feel it in the cold air, in the burning — The One who made me, making me again [Instrumental Break] [Horn section, 4 bars] [Full band celebration] [Final Chorus] [Anthemic peak] [Full Harmony Stack] [Octave Harmonies] [Gospel Choir continues] [Upfront Vocal] [Wide Vocal Stereo Image] [Handclaps, stomps, brass, drums — everything] Grace for grace, I'm not the same Something slow and warm has filled the cold I didn't earn this — I was being made Grace for grace, I'm not the same [Outro] [Stomp-clap rhythm strips back] [Banjo and handclaps only] [Gospel choir tag ad-libs behind lead] Grace for grace — I'm being made Grace for grace, I'm not the same (Grace for grace) (I'm not the same)
