The Rhythm of Grace

Ernest Prabhakar 7/14/2013

EPHESIANS 4:11-13

So Christ himself gave the apostles, the    prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and    teachers, to equip his people for works of  service, so that the body of Christ may be  built up until we all reach unity in the faith    and in the knowledge of the Son of God and   become mature , attaining to the  whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

EPHESIANS 5:1

Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children.

That’s Grace

Oh I was wandering in confusion, a victim of my past

Ashamed of all my failures, I knew I couldn't last

When a hand reached out and showed me how my life could be set free

Though I'd been wrong, I still belonged,

Somebody did love me.

And that's grace...

(clap)

Oo-ooh, that's grace

(clap)

Oh I was wandering in confusion, a victim of my past

Ashamed of all my failures, I knew I couldn't last

When a hand reached out and showed me how my life could be set free

Though I'd been wrong, I still belonged,

Somebody did love me.

And that's grace...

(clap)

Oo-ooh, that's grace

(clap)

Now grace is not pretending, or saying what ain't so

It goes beyond forgiveness; it's where I long to go

Where God gives me, just what I need

and not what I deserve

He helps me mend, so at the end,

I am prepared to serve

And give grace...

(clap)

Oo-ooh, to give grace

(clap)

Oh, don't you know we all need grace.

(clap)

Oh, Lord, I pray we would find grace.

(clap)

Oh, Jesus, help us see your face.
