lyrics

Since I was a little boy, I believed in God
I could hear an inner voice, telling me to love
——
I could hear my inner voice telling me to lie
Telling me lust, telling me to hate, filling me with pride
Filling me with bitter joys, and evil appetites
So much for my human choice, it never satisfied
I was just a child of wrath, fit to be destroyed
Walking down a crowded path, tryna fill a void
I'd pretend He wasn't there but
I could always feel his stare though
In His sight I would be careless
In human sight I was careful

(Melodies)
It's grace, grace

When I was a younger man, I would sit in church
Hear about a bigger plan
The preacher spit a verse, Jesus hidden words
I could hear the word clearly
Never did I ever know of such a treasure
I could feel The Lord near me, telling me to let go
I could see the law, He could see my thoughts
Who was I to get close?
An enemy of God, who chose felony over fidelity
So the penalty was high, let the evil die!
Who was I to see the light?
The wrath of God had been satisfied
It was by the blood of Jesus Christ
The love of God, gave me faith in God
That's the grace of God on my life

(Melodies)
It's grace, grace

Hey, I'm Nate. I'm an artist in central VA, making pop/hip-hop music. My music primarily reflects on God and living the life He has given us. I've been rapping since I was 16 when I came to know Jesus Christ. I've been growing as a believer and as a creative since then. My prayer is that the music blesses the Lord and the listeners. ... more
