Many have tried
While others have stayed
But the ones who run the furthest
Will still never get away
Because you can’t outrun his love
No matter the distance or the sin
God’s love and grace always wins

Illustrations of Love
The truth of our redemption
Is the perfect picture of beauty
It embodies the fullness of your grace
To all who will receive and believe
—
It represents a new covenant
Through your Spirit and sacrifice
It is You ending our lawless attempts
And uniting us as your bride
Gospel of Grace
In our longing for justice,
We argue, we reason, we explain
Hoping our offender
Will feel remorse for our pain
But where we have been wronged
We have wronged a thousand more
So we look to the cross
And see the grievances He bore
If we all weren’t in need of this grace
We could rest on our arguments
If all we had was our understanding
All through the day we’d lament
But thank God He teaches mercy
Thank God it’s not about evening the score
Thank God it’s not about who’s right or wrong
Thank God, grace gives so much more.

I can’t tell you what to do
or what direction to go
Only Who will be there along the way
I can’t tell you
how to atone for your sin
The price has already been paid.
