Sharing a Song

I've had this song on my ipod since I heard of the Art, Music, Justice Tour. (sidenote: If you're curious, I missed the concert. Sad. But I have the music and I love it.) This weekend a tune kept popping in my head and I knew it was of significance, but I couldn't figure what the lyrics were so I pulled up the lyrics and listened to it (and I teared up). After listening to it and reading the lyrics, there's no wonder why I love this song so much!!

Here is the video:


And here are the lyrics:

Add To The Beauty
- Sara Groves

We come with beautiful secrets
We come with purposes written on our hearts, written on our souls
We come to every new morning
With possibilities only we can hold, that only we can hold

Redemption comes in strange places, small spaces
Calling out the best of who we are

And I want to add to the beauty
I want to tell a better story
Shine with the light
That's burning up inside

It comes in small inspirations
It brings redemption to life and work, to our lives and our work
It comes in loving community
It comes in helping a soul find it's worth, the soul find it's worth

Redemption comes in strange places, small spaces
Calling out the best of who we are

And I want to add to the beauty
I want to tell a better story
Shine with the light
That's burning up inside

This is grace, an invitation to be beautiful
This is grace, an invitation

Redemption comes in strange places, small spaces
Calling out our best

I want to add to the beauty
I want to shine with the light
That's burning up inside

And I want to add to the beauty
I want to tell a better story
Shine with the light
That's burning up inside
