\"\"<\/h6>\n
On one side of grace, I hid and turned my face.<\/h6>\n
Without hope, I walked in despair\u2026<\/h6>\n
Critical, angry; deceived, lies, I\u2019d wear.<\/h6>\n
Bitterness, loneliness, and depression set in<\/h6>\n
I\u2019ll never forgive what they did to me\u2026<\/h6>\n
Oh no, they\u2019ll never win just wait and see\u2026<\/h6>\n
I\u2019ll hold onto unforgiveness, hidden deep inside<\/h6>\n
No one will ever hurt me again; I have my pride\u2026<\/h6>\n
Tormented soul both day and night\u2026no rest, no sleep, I\u2019d cry and cry\u2026<\/h6>\n
My grief, hidden like a secret that I’d never tell\u2026<\/h6>\n
Existing like this is a living hell\u2026<\/h6>\n
They deserve to be punished for what they\u2019ve said and done\u2026<\/h6>\n
The only thing is, they don\u2019t even care\u2026<\/h6>\n
I\u2019m caught in their evil spell,<\/h6>\n
A web spun, holding me, in a deep, dark, well\u2026<\/h6>\n
I cannot sit, or stand, I must run\u2026and run\u2026and run\u2026<\/h6>\n
The cycle never ends.<\/h6>\n
But then~<\/h6>\n
Turning I see a bright illuminated light\u2026<\/h6>\n
I hear a message taught\u2026<\/h6>\n
Forgiveness takes you to the other side of grace\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
It releases healing oil, which vanquishes\u00a0<\/em>disgrace.<\/i><\/span><\/h6>\n
A gift that sets you free\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
God\u2019s grace poured out for\u00a0<\/em>me.<\/i><\/span><\/h6>\n
From a hill called Mt. Calvary\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Accepting the gift, I must give it\u00a0<\/em>away.<\/i><\/span><\/h6>\n
Then freedom is won,<\/span>\u00a0and the battle done\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Grace reveals the lies and deceit\u2026grace will show you the Prince of Peace<\/em><\/h6>\n
Grace is free and grace is given when you open your heart, you will be forgiven\u2026<\/h6>\n
When you\u2019re forgiven, give it away, to the ones who have hurt you, and then you can say\u2026I\u2019ve come to the other side of grace\u2026I\u2019ve looked full in Jesus\u2019 loving face\u2026and what I see is His amazing grace\u2026<\/h6>\n
Jesus paid the cost for this gift of Grace.<\/h6>\n
For you and for me it is now totally free, so give it away\u2026<\/h6>\n
Forgive, and be forgiven by His grace today\u2026<\/h6>\n
On the other side of grace, you\u2019ll find wholeness, love, peace, joy, and unspeakable, undeniable, unexplainable, but oh so obtainable grace, when you forgive, you are forgiven\u2026<\/h6>\n
Go to the other side of grace\u2026it is enough, it is always enough\u2026and nothing and no one can ever take that away\u2026<\/h6>\n
Grace is God\u2019s gift to you\u2026<\/h6>\n
His unmerited favor, you can\u2019t earn it, you can\u2019t buy it, you can\u2019t sell it, you can\u2019t create it, but you can accept it\u2026<\/h6>\n
Grace, amazing grace!<\/h6>\n
Take the gift and walk to the other side\u2026<\/h6>\n
Give it away and it will come back to you a hundred-fold!<\/h6>\n
What will your answer be\u2026?<\/h6>\n
Will you forgive, to be set free\u2026?<\/h6>\n
See in the distance the narrow bridge\u2026<\/h6>\n
On this side of grace is a pit of regret<\/h6>\n
The other side of grace is freedom without debt.<\/h6>\n
Take the gift and be embraced\u2026<\/h6>\n
By God\u2019s amazing, healing, grace\u2026<\/h6>\n
You\u2019ll never know what love\u00a0<\/em>waits.<\/i><\/span><\/h6>\n
Until you forgive, and let go of hate\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Come to My Throne of Grace\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
~Your loving Papa God\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
