‘The Grace‘ is a new worship song by KDMusic with an easily learned, compelling melody to help you & your community sing the Benediction or “The Grace” from 2 Corinthians 13. It uses a familiar structure and joyful Irish melody lines. There are three verses; The love of the Father, The grace of the Son & the fellowship of the Spirit. If you want an individual to sing this powerful blessing over your people, there’s an optional solo at the end ( to a different melody ) that sticks faithfully to the words of the passage.
“Initial inspiration for ‘The Grace’ was this episode of BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs with England footballer Ian Wright. His clear love for teacher & father figure Mr Pigden, a retired WWII Spitfire pilot, moved many people to tears. It reminded us of our own experience of God as adoptive Father with Jesus as our hero & brother. However, it just missed out on the sense of new life through the Fellowship of the Spirit, so we were inevitably drawn to write the song as an exposition of this much-loved benediction.”
