Story Behind The Song
I felt compelled to go into my music room and open the inner door to something that was nagging at me to come out. I started working on this song but couldn't seem to figure out what it was about. I stopped to take a break and opened a letter from my sister-in-law. She had written a beautiful tribute to those of us who had been her support as she suffered the untimely loss of her son, Wyatt. My eyes teared up as she graciously acknowledged me in the letter and, overcome with emotion, I put the letter aside without finishing it. I returned to the music room, with renewed inspiration, realizing that the song was really about grace. That realization pulled all the lyrics together and I completed the song. When I went back to the letter, to my astonishment, the last paragraph, the one I hadn't read earlier, was all about grace!

Lyrics
In The Presence Of Grace
V1: When I need you to hold me you hold me so tight
And whisper everything is all right
I want to believe what you're telling me
As I drink it in
I know that there's only so much you can say
To take all the heartache inside me away
You must understand I am who I am
Because of where I've been
Cho: I open my eyes and instantly see your face
I realize I'm in the presence of grace
V2: Noone has ever touched me like you do
I marvel at how well you found your way through
To the woman inside, the one that I hide
Deep within
I carry these secrets with me a long way
Buried them far from the light of day
I can't hide anymore since you opened the door
And let light in
Cho:
Bridge: You bring a sense of peace and calm
So steady, so sure
That makes me feel more secure
Than I've ever felt before
V3: Now that you know me I'm no longer shy
I know now that I can laugh out loud and cry
Without feeling ashamed or wrapped up in blame
For things I cannot change
Cho:
