Stars Go Dim - If It's Amazing Grace Lyrics
Lyrics
There comes a time when we all take a breathe
Admit who we are with all our mess
Stand there and tremple and hope for the best, knowing its out of our hands
But, if its Amazing Grace let it do what it does
It can reach far beyond anything we have done
Truth is, there's just some things that cannot be explained.
It's gonna find a way if its Amazing Grace
Many before us have stood on that ledge
Arguments filling their hearts and their heads
to only discover that its all to true, that it can make anyone new
If its Amazing Grace let it do what it does
It can reach far beyond anything we have done
Truth is there's just some things that cannot be explained
It's gonna find a way if its Amazing Grace
It crashes through darkness; shatters our shame
We can run all we want but it keeps calling our names
It's strong and relentless; full of forgiveness
No death it wont go just to save
But, if its Amazing Grace let it do what it does
It can reach far beyond anything we have done
Truth is there's just some things that cannot be explained
It's gonna find a way if its Amazing Grace
It's gonna find a way if its Amazing Grace
I know my hearts been changed by this Amazing Grace

Meaning & Inspiration
Stars Go Dim consistently offers music that points upward, and their song, "If It's Amazing Grace," released on September 22, 2022, as part of a captivating short-form video anticipation, is a beautiful continuation of that ministry. Far more than just a catchy tune, this song serves as a profound meditation on the enduring, surprising, and ultimately glorious nature of God's favor. It takes the familiar, foundational truth embodied in the classic hymn "Amazing Grace"—the transformative power of salvation from sin and darkness into light—and prayerfully considers its ongoing impact and ultimate culmination. The song doesn't just celebrate where grace has brought us from; it looks forward with eager anticipation to where it is leading us. It captures the Christian journey not just as a moment of past rescue, but as a continuous unfolding of divine kindness that has a definite and breathtaking destination.
The heart of the song's message lies in this forward-looking perspective. While we often reflect on how grace saved us from our past (Ephesians 2:8-9 reminds us we are saved by grace through faith, not by our own works), this song gently prompts us to ponder the future. If the grace we experienced at salvation was amazing, what will the next steps look like? What will it be like to stand before God, fully redeemed, completely known, and finally home? This anticipation resonates deeply with the hope described throughout Scripture. The Apostle John writes with simple yet profound clarity, "when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is" (1 John 3:2). This future transformation and direct encounter with Christ is the ultimate expression of the grace that began its work in us. Similarly, Paul speaks of suffering not being worth comparing to the glory that will be revealed in us (Romans 8:18), a glory made possible only through Christ's finished work and God's continued grace.
The song feels like a prayer set to music, exploring the awe and wonder of what lies ahead. It captures the spirit of Colossians 1:27, which speaks of "Christ in you, the hope of glory." That hope isn't a vague wish but a certain future grounded in God's promise and power. The grace that redeemed us is the same grace that sustains us daily through trials (2 Corinthians 12:9, where God's grace is sufficient for weakness) and the same grace that will ultimately bring us into His presence perfected. The song doesn't detail the struggles of the present but provides the heavenly perspective that makes the present bearable and purposeful. It reminds us that every act of God's favor, from drawing breath to receiving salvation, is a thread in the tapestry of His amazing grace, and the masterpiece will only be fully revealed when we see Him face to face.
Ultimately, "If It's Amazing Grace" by Stars Go Dim is an inspiring call to lift our eyes. It encourages listeners to move beyond dwelling solely on past redemption and to actively look forward to the future God has prepared for those who love Him. It grounds this future hope firmly in the character of God revealed through His past and present grace, making the transition into eternity feel not like an uncertain step but the natural, glorious culmination of His ongoing work in our lives. It’s a song that fills the listener with a sense of peace, hope, and excited expectation for the day when faith becomes sight, and the fullness of God's amazing grace is finally, completely understood and experienced in His eternal presence, echoing the promised rest for the people of God found in Hebrews 4:9-11.
