Theme: Grace

Grace is the word that sums up the entire Christian life. It is unmerited favor, scandalous generosity, the surprise of God giving what could never be earned. Songs about grace celebrate the character of a God who loves freely, forgives completely, and pursues relentlessly. They give language for the overwhelming experience of being accepted not because of performance but because of Christ. Grace songs range from quiet gratitude to exuberant declaration, but all of them point to the same staggering reality: the God of the universe chose to show mercy. For congregations where performance-based spirituality has taken root, singing about grace is a form of liberation.
