CELEBRATE GRACE
©2007 Dale J Mayer

Verse 1
It doesn't hurt to smile anymore
I'm not afraid to lift my head, spread my wings and soar
I gave you a broken heart
You gave me a brand new start
The past is erased, now I have the faith to celebrate grace

Verse 2
I'm not an empty shell anymore
There's a new song rising up, now I'm steppin' out the door
Once hopeless and rejected
In Christ I am accepted
The future in place, a smile on my face to celebrate grace

Chorus
Now I can celebrate life, celebrate love, celebrate joy
I can celebrate hope, celebrate truth, celebrate faith
I can celebrate freedom from the past
Now I'm coming home at last
To celebrate mercy, celebrate Jesus, celebrate grace

Verse 3
It isn't hard to love anymore
I see the world through different eyes, a heart that's been restored
But it's hard to hide this glow
You know I want the world to know
That mercy is great, it's never too late to celebrate grace

Chorus ("It's time to celebrate...")

Bridge
Once broken and rejected
In Christ we are accepted

Chorus ("Come on and celebrate...")
