Vineyard Worship - Throne of Grace Lyrics
Lyrics
Oh my Lord You are so kind
Oh my Lord You are so kind
Morning to morning day to day
You reveal Your righteous ways
It's Your kindness that leads to repentance
It's Your blood that brings forgiveness
It's Your mercy that leads me here
To Your throne of grace
In Your kindness I find repentance
In Your blood I find forgiveness
In Your mercy I find myself
At Your throne of grace
Your throne of grace

Throne of Grace (Vineyard Music)
Meaning & Inspiration
Released in 2011 as part of the compilation *25 Top Vineyard Worship Songs: Refiner's Fire*, "Throne of Grace" by Vineyard Worship is a profound expression of divine love and redemptive power, designed to draw listeners into a deeper understanding of God's character. The song’s central theme revolves around the unwavering kindness of God, presented not as a passive attribute but as an active force that compels transformation and leads believers into His presence. The lyrics poetically articulate a journey of repentance, forgiveness, and ultimately, finding one's true self at the "throne of grace." This echoes the Apostle Paul's assertion in Romans 2:4 that it is the "richness of God’s kindness, forbearance and patience" that leads people to repentance. The song emphasizes that it is this very kindness, coupled with the atoning sacrifice of Jesus, that unlocks the door to forgiveness, a concept powerfully presented throughout Scripture, such as in Ephesians 1:7: "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace." The repeated phrase, "It's Your mercy that leads me here," highlights the role of God's boundless mercy, a theme central to Psalm 23 and frequently invoked in prayers and confessions, reminding us that it is God's unfailing mercy that sustains us. The progression within the lyrics, moving from recognizing God's kindness to finding repentance, then experiencing forgiveness through His blood, and finally encountering oneself at His throne, beautifully illustrates the transformative journey of faith. This is not merely an emotional experience, but a profound spiritual reality rooted in biblical truths. The "throne of grace" itself is a direct allusion to Hebrews 4:16, which encourages believers to "approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in time of need." The song skillfully unpacks these theological concepts, making them accessible and inspiring, encouraging a profound sense of gratitude and awe for the God who is not only righteous in His ways but also incredibly loving and merciful, constantly revealing His character through the unfolding of each new day.
