Selah: Hello Grace (lyric video)

I heard this song a couple of weeks ago and it really spoke to me. The melody is downright heavenly and the lyrics pack a powerful punch.

‘Hello, Grace’ is about second chances. It’s a reminder that even though tomorrow is a new day, there is no need to wait — you can start over right now because of the grace of Jesus Christ! We hope you enjoy this lyric video that was put together by our good friend, Jonathan Yates.

Selah

Lyrics
I’m sure I’ve read somewhere his yoke is easy
I’ve heard it said his burden should be light
Well, it seems to me he’s gonna have to help me
‘Cause right now it seems I’m fighting for my life

Hello, grace
It’s good to see you
I thought I’d have to pray a thousand prayers to reach you
I shouldn’t be surprised
You’re right on time
The way you’ve always been through every chapter of my life

Hello, grace
Hello, grace

Even as I’m staring down this mountain
That I know for sure I’m gonna have to climb
Just knowing that you’re here is all that matters
It’s all I need to give it one more try

Hello, grace
It’s good to see you
I thought I’d have to pray a thousand prayers to reach you
I shouldn’t be surprised
You’re right on time
The way you’ve always been through every chapter of my life

Hello, grace
Hello, grace

If you’ll keep walking with me, I’ll endure it
If you’ll just light the way, I’ll walk on through it
I’m not asking you to get me through tomorrow
I’m just grateful that you’re here with me today

Hello, grace
Hello, grace

Hello, grace
It’s good to see you
I thought I’d have to pray a thousand prayers to reach you
I shouldn’t be surprised
You’re right on time
The way you’ve always been through every chapter of my life
The way you’ve always been through every chapter of my life

Hello, grace (hello, grace)
Hello, grace (oh, hello, grace)
Hello, grace
Hello, grace

Firm Foundation | Cody Carnes

I heard this song a few weeks ago and it impressed me so much I noted it in an email to myself. I came across that note again and relistened to it this weekend.

This is the official music video for Firm Foundation (He Won’t) featuring Chandler Moore & Cody Carnes. It premiered on YouTube January 3rd, 2022.

Firm Foundation (He Won’t) was written by Chandler Moore, Cody Carnes & Austin Davis. This video was captured in Chicago, IL during Maverick City’s national tour October 1st, 2021.

A good good father

I had a tumultuous and conflict-ridden relationship with my biological dad and to this day we are completely estranged. I’m really OK with that because I have moved on in life and have enjoyed lots of strong, healthy fatherly influences in my life that filled that space in my life over the years. Additionally, my dad has demonstrated time and again that he has no interest in having any type of relationship with me.

I’ve made my peace with that a long time ago. This week, instead of my usual apathetic attitude about fatherhood, I find myself feeling and thinking warmly about my heavenly Father. I heard this song for the first time a few years ago and it’s been on my spiritual playlist ever since.

While I never knew what it was like to go fishing, or camping, or treated warmly and lovingly by my biological dad, I know that God the Father was always looking out for me. From having a mom that loved me enough for two parents, God making himself real to me when I was 16, to all of the good men I encountered in my life that always seem to take me under their wings, I know that God has always been a good, good Father to and I am so thankful for that.
