Hillsong Worship - Grace To Grace Lyrics
Lyrics
VERSE 1:
If love endured that ancient cross
How precious is my Saviour’s blood
The beauty of heaven wrapped in my shame
The image of love upon death’s frame
PRE-CHORUS 1:
If having my heart was worth the pain
What joy could You see beyond the grave
If love found my soul worth dying for
CHORUS:
How wonderful, how glorious
My Saviour’s scars victorious
My chains are gone
My debt is paid
From death to life
And grace to grace
VERSE 2:
If heaven now owns that vacant tomb
How great is the hope that lives in You
The passion that tore
Through hell like a rose
The promise that rolled back
Death and its stone
PRE-CHORUS 2:
If freedom is worth the life You raised
Oh where is my sin where is my shame
If love paid it all to have my heart
BRIDGE:
When I see that cross I see freedom
When I see that grave I’ll see Jesus
And from death to life
I will sing Your praise
In the wonder of Your grace
TAGS:
How my soul will sing Your praise
In the wonder of Your grace
How my soul will sing Your praise

Grace To Grace - Hillsong Worship
Meaning & Inspiration
Hillsong Worship's "Grace to Grace," released on April 26, 2017, stands as a powerful testament to the transformative and unending nature of God's grace. At its core, the song articulates a profound theological truth: that our journey of faith is not a singular event but a continuous unfolding, a movement from one dimension of God's mercy to another. The narrative woven through the lyrics mirrors the biblical progression from sin to salvation, from darkness to light, and from dependence on self to complete reliance on Christ. The song powerfully articulates this journey as a divine enablement, a grace that consistently meets us where we are and propels us forward into deeper relationship with God. This concept resonates deeply with the Apostle Paul's declaration in 2 Corinthians 12:9, where he states, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." The song suggests that this sufficiency is not static but dynamic, leading us from one act of divine favor to the next, mirroring the perpetual nature of God's faithfulness.
The central message of "Grace to Grace" is the overwhelming, inexhaustible supply of God's grace, a concept foundational to Christian theology. It acknowledges that the same grace that redeems us from sin is the very grace that empowers us to live a life pleasing to God. This isn't a grace that allows for complacency, but one that fuels transformation. The lyrics echo the sentiments found in Titus 2:11-12, which speaks of the appearing of God's grace that "teaches us to say no to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age." The song portrays this teaching not as a burden, but as a natural outflow of experiencing God's goodness. Furthermore, the idea of a continuous flow of grace finds strong parallel in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit described in Acts 2, where believers were filled and empowered, ready to proclaim the gospel. This continuous gifting and empowering are the very essence of moving "grace to grace." The song’s profound understanding of grace moves beyond a simple pardon for past sins; it highlights grace as the ongoing power source for every aspect of the Christian walk, from overcoming temptation to living with purpose and hope. It's a reminder that our spiritual growth is not a result of our own merit, but a direct consequence of God's continuous, unmerited favor, a concept so central to the New Covenant established through Jesus Christ.
