Analysis of Grace
Inside of me, you died
For the years I cried
For the things you said
You died a horrid death
I could commit the crime
Suspended in that time
But since I prayed
I've found a grace
It seemed to find its core
In the deepness of my all
So very strange to me
Before I bent my knees
I cannot grasp the range
The scope of this great change
Except in me you live
And-I'm willing to forgive
