Mosaic MSC - Grace Lyrics
Lyrics
Oh, what a grace
Oh, what a gift to me
Here is my heart, it is my offering
Now what I am is not what I used to be
The weaker I get, the stronger you're making me
It's amazing how you love me
Like you love me
Like you want me close to you
It's amazing that you love me like you do
Like you do
Like you do
Grace is a home
A place that you've built for me
There is no end to the kindness you're offering
Now what I am is not what I used to be
You see the best, you're speaking it over me
It's amazing how you love me
Like you love me
Like you want me close to you
It's amazing that you love me like you do
Like you do
Like you do
Like you do
You love me like you do
Who would have known
This is what life could hold
How far we've come
And how far we've yet to go
I'm not who I was, I'm who you're making me
Grace is the path
Grace is the opening
It's amazing how you love me
Like you love me
Like you want me close to you
It's amazing that you love me like you do
It's amazing how you love me
Like you love me
Like you want me close to you
It's amazing how you love me
It's amazing that you love me like you do
Like you do

Meaning & Inspiration
Released as part of the 2022 album *This Is How I Thank The Lord*, Mosaic MSC's "Grace" emerges as a powerful testament to the transformative nature of divine love. The song delves into the profound shift that occurs when one experiences God's unmerited favor, moving from a place of past limitations to present and future becoming. At its core, "Grace" is an offering of the heart, a recognition that who we are now is a direct result of God's work. The lyrics articulate a journey of personal transformation, where vulnerability and perceived weakness become conduits for His strength, echoing the sentiment found in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10: "But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me." This profound spiritual dynamic is central to the song's message, illustrating how God's love doesn't just accept us as we are, but actively shapes us into who He intends us to be, seeing and speaking life over our potential, much like a shepherd guides his flock.
The expansive and overwhelming nature of God's love is the central theme, described as "amazing" and a constant source of wonder. It’s a love that draws us close, fostering an intimate relationship. This resonates deeply with John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life," emphasizing the boundless nature of His affection. The repeated affirmation that God loves us "like you do" is not mere repetition, but a profound acknowledgment of a love so unique and personal, it defies full human comprehension. This divine love is presented as a secure dwelling, a "home" that God has meticulously prepared for us. This imagery finds parallel in scriptures like Psalm 23, which speaks of God as a provider and protector, ensuring we have a place of safety and peace: "He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet water." The unceasing "kindness" offered further underscores the persistent and abundant nature of God's grace.
The song beautifully captures the realization that this new identity, this transformed self, is entirely God's doing. The lyrics articulate a departure from who one "used to be," acknowledging past shortcomings and embracing the ongoing work of God. This sense of renewal is a cornerstone of Christian teaching, as seen in 2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" "Grace" is not just a feeling or a concept; it is depicted as the very "path" and the "opening" to a life lived in communion with God, a divine pathway that leads us forward. The wonder expressed at the unfolding of this life – "Who would have known / This is what life could hold" – is a humble recognition of God’s magnificent plan, far surpassing our own limited expectations, leading us to a profound gratitude that underpins the entire song.
