Darwin Hobbs - Grace Lyrics
Lyrics
Thank you for your grace
Your amazing grace
Thank you for the way that you
Forgive me every day
Thank you for your grace
Your amazing grace
Great is your mercy
Thank you for your grace
How could I breathe without it
How could I move without it
I couldn't live without it
Your grace, your grace
Not one single word without it
How could I speak without her
I wouldn't wanna sing with out it
Your grace, your grace
Thank you for your grace
Your amazing grace
Thank you for the way that you
Forgive me every day
Thank you for your grace
Your amazing grace
Great is your mercy
Thank you for your grace
Imagine a world without it
There'd be no hope without it
No chance of peace without it
Your grace
Now that I understand it
My everything demands it
No longer take for granted
The everlasting saving power of grace
I know I don't deserve
Oh, oh, oh rights that Calvary reserved
For me
Rights that takes my breath away
I lift my hands to worship you
So let me live to worship you
Thank you for your grace (your grace)
Your amazing grace (your amazing grace)
Thank you for the way that you
Forgive me every day (each and every day of my life)
Thank you for your grace
Your amazing grace (its so amazing)
Great is your mercy
Thank you for your grace
Grace
I know I don't deserve
No oh, oh Grace
That Calvary reserved
For me
Grace
That takes my breath away
I lift my hands to worship you
So let me live to worship you (REPEAT)
Thank you for your grace
Your amazing grace
Thank you for the way that you
Forgive me every day
Thank you for your grace
Your amazing grace
Great is your mercy
Thank you for your grace

Meaning & Inspiration
Darwin Hobbs' 2008 release, "Grace," from the album *Free*, stands as a profound testament to the transformative power of divine favor. This song isn't merely a musical composition; it's a deeply personal and universal declaration of gratitude for the unmerited kindness of God. The lyrical narrative artfully articulates a journey of realization, moving from a state of simply acknowledging grace to understanding its absolute necessity for existence itself. Hobbs explores the fundamental truth that without this grace, life's essential functions – breathing, moving, speaking, and even singing – would be impossible. This resonates powerfully with the biblical concept that in God, we live and move and have our being (Acts 17:28). The repeated refrain of thankfulness for forgiveness highlights a core tenet of the Christian faith, echoing Ephesians 1:7, which speaks of redemption through Christ's blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace.
The song delves into the profound realization of what a world devoid of grace would entail: a landscape without hope, peace, or the chance for redemption. This imagery strongly aligns with the despair and brokenness that Scripture describes as the human condition apart from God's intervention. The shift in perspective, from experiencing grace to actively demanding it and no longer taking it for granted, signifies a maturing faith, a deeper appreciation for the "everlasting saving power." This sentiment is beautifully captured by the acknowledgment of not deserving the "rights that Calvary reserved." This directly references the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ, a theme central to the Gospel, where believers are granted salvation and eternal life not by their own merit but by God's generous grace, as Paul eloquently explains in Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." The song's progression culminates in a powerful declaration of worship, a heartfelt response to the overwhelming magnitude of this gift. The desire to "live to worship you" is the natural outworking of understanding the depth of God's mercy, a response that mirrors the psalmist's fervent plea in Psalm 116:12, "What shall I return to the Lord for all his goodness to me?" "Grace" by Darwin Hobbs is a powerful and moving anthem that invites listeners to reflect on their own journey of faith and to offer unreserved thanks for the divine grace that sustains and redeems.
