Dolly Parton: God Only Knows

I heard this again on the radio this week and I just had to give it a shout out. We all know how talented Dolly Parton has been throughout all of her career. So I have always respected her as an artist. Earlier this year she was one of the celebrities who filmed herself getting her vaccine shot. That’s what leadership looks like! It endeared this song, “God Only Knows,” to me during a difficult year.

I love songs and melodies that can double as prayers. Let’s never forget and always take comfort in this spiritual truth: God knows where we have been and what we have been through. He knows our hurts and shortcomings. He knows our failures and fears. He know our hopes and dreams. Let’s all strive to rest and find safety and solace in the palm of His hand.

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
