Grace by U2

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

Grace...
It's a 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's got the time to talk
She travels outside of karma, karma
She travels outside... of karma

When she goes to work, you can hear the strings
Grace finds beauty in everything

Grace...
She carries a 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 stings...
Because Grace makes beauty
Out of ugly things

Grace finds beauty in everything

i need grace to get healed and be able to forgive, and i can't do things on my own will power. i don't have the want, will, or need to forgive. the only reason why i want to forgive is because i know i hurt God by my unforgiveness and also because that's not the person i want to be. i want to please God, I want to be pure to Him. I realize I'm human, but I realize through my weakness shines His strength, and all my hurt will "no longer stay... because grace makes beauty, out of ugly things." i want to shine a pure light, not a mudded light. i don't want anything to hinder my soul from levitating. i want to fly, i want to levitate, i want to touch the heart of God and be wrapped in Him, i want to be in Him. it's my deepest desire ever. i need grace and i need healing, i'm still hurt. i can't understand why i'm still hurt, why i'm being stubborn in my heart and i can't let go, but i have to. i don't know how to forgive (at ALL) but i'll learn through God, and " hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us." (Romans 5:5) it's ok if it takes time, but i will overcome this. not because the person who hurt me is deserving, but because Christ already paid the debt and Christ IS worthy. I hope He'll open my heart and make me new. :)
