Phillips, Craig & Dean - A Friend Called Grace lyrics

Tears dripped off of her crimson face She covered her head tryin' to hide her shame Caught and condemned, now she can't get away Just a pawn in the hands of a Pharisee game The noise and the rage of the frenzied grew As they struggled for the power in an ageless feud And 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 crowd away The hand that flung the stars in space Lifted her face and she heard Him say (CHORUS) Let Me introduce you to a friend called Grace Doesn't care about your past or your many mistakes He'll cover your sins in a warm embrace Let me introduce you to a friend A friend called Grace The courtroom croud 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 Truth all could clearly see The facts made the trial mere formality And my accusers stood with bated breath Confident conviction would end in d**h But from the blood-stained cross to the witness stand Walked a man with hope in His nail-scarred hands The words He spoke brought me sweet release He whispered "I've a friend that you need to meet" (REPEAT CHORUS) 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 (REPEAT CHORUS)
