Grace

Hymn composed by

Scott Roewe

Contextual information

Grace is a prayer meant to be sung (a “song/prayer”) when one desires to be released from the shame cycle of destructive behaviors. As imperfect human beings, we make mistakes; through grace, we find the strength to move forward. While grace does not absolve actions, it extends the gift of forgiveness, offering a path to healing and redemption.
