Several friends and I put together this original song. I wrote a lot of the lyrics, but the composition was a team effort. I played bass guitar in the song. It is about the transformation and new life that begins when we encounter God's love and grace.

Lyrics:
Love
A master who stoops to the ground
A father who chases me down
It's overwhelming
Love
A power that conquers my heart
A whisper that sets me apart
It's overwhelming
All that you gave for this dead soul to save
Brought me out from the grave, awake
As you lead me through the fight I will praise you in the night
Running to the light, awake
Grace
A gift we could never deserve
A treasure of infinite worth
It's overwhelming
Grace
A freedom that breaks through my chains
Raising me up from the grave
It's overwhelming
All that you gave for this dead soul to save
Brought me out from the grave, awake
As you lead me through the fight I will praise you in the night
Running to the light, awake
Now I see, yes now I see
The joy you give your plan for me
Your grace falls down your love abounds
Your grace falls down and love abounds
All that you gave for this dead soul to save
Brought me out from the grave, awake
As you lead me through the fight I will praise you in the night
Running to the light, awake
