Dark But Lovely

Recently I head this amazing song by Sarah Edwards called, "Dark But Lovely". The theme of this song is about "God's Grace".

Webster defines grace as this:

approval, favor, mercy, pardon, privilege.


The Bible defines grace as this:

a free gift, graciousness, helpfulness towards someone in need, not in return for anything

When you combine the two, GRACE is an amazing gift from God isn't it? We are so undeserving of God's grace, yet, daily, he's eager to extend it to us. He extends it, even when we are SO unworthy. He extends it to us, when we sin. He extends it to us when me make wrong choices.

You see, he LOVES us SO much, that he see's past our ugliness, past our pain, past our sin and he see's us as LOVELY, and BEAUTIFUL.

My prayer for you, is that as you read the lyrics to this song, and click the link below to hear the song, that God's presence will flow over you in such a powerful way that regardless of your past, or present... you realize that God's GRACE is waiting for you!

Sarah Edwards - Dark but Lovely

I can't understand this work of grace
How a perfect God would come and take my place

I can't understand this work of grace
How a perfect God would come and take my place

The stars they don't move you
The waves can't undo you
The mountains in their splendor
They cannot steal your heart

This God who is Holy
Perfect in beauty
Awesome in Glory
Is ravished by my heart

Though I'm poor you say I'm lovely
Though I'm dark you say I am beautiful

Somehow my weak glance, it overwhelms you
Somehow my weak love, it has stolen away your heart
