Not long a go I was at the Jacksons house and Lori let me listen
to this song. I was deeply touched by the words and amazed at
how beautifully it painted the picture of my work here in Slovenija.
In reality it is the work that every believer is called to. But
as I listen to this song, I see so clearly specific faces of so
many girls that I encounter every day...
Saving Grace
She had her father's blue eyes
He left home before she arrived
Momma named her Grace
Just getting by on their own
When Grace was 15
She ran from home
One December day
Grace is lost and alone
In a world as cold as stone
God is counting on us
To reach her with his love
CHORUS
It's all about saving Grace
All about living love
Being Jesus
To those He came to save
Sharing life
And giving our own away
All about serving God
All about saving Grace
She'd never darken the door
Of any church
She would say "What for?
No one there would care for me"
We Have to go where she lives
Simpy show her who Jesus is
Watch him set her free
For grace flows down from above
And faith requires a self-less love
For a world
That's dying to see
The hope in you and me
It's all about saving Grace
All about living love
Being Jesus
To those He came to save
Sharing life
And giving our own away
All about serving God
All about saving Grace
There are countless millions
Just like Grace
Who need a merciful embrace
They won't believe our god is real
Until they feel his touch
Saving Grace
Living love
Being Jesus
To those He came to save
Sharing life
And giving our own away
All about serving God
All about saving Grace
Being Jesus
To those He came to save
Sharing life
And giving our own away
Serving God
All about saving Grace
She had her father's blue eyes
He left home before she arrived
Momma named her Grace
Just getting by on their own
When Grace was 15
She ran from home
One December day
Grace is lost and alone
In a world as cold as stone
God is counting on us
To reach her with his love
CHORUS
It's all about saving Grace
All about living love
Being Jesus
To those He came to save
Sharing life
And giving our own away
All about serving God
All about saving Grace
She'd never darken the door
Of any church
She would say "What for?
No one there would care for me"
We Have to go where she lives

Watch him set her free
For grace flows down from above
And faith requires a self-less love

Amen and Amen my friend. :-) I am praying for you as you are being Christ to those girls and so glad I have faces with some names now. :-) Amazing to see you in your place. Love you!
Christina, wow, I grew up with this song, and never started to think of it this way until you pointed it out. This is so true and it is so neat to see you doing this. I love you and will be praying for you!!
Far away in miles but not in spirit, -Emily
