River of Grace Songtext
von Rick Altizer

Some kind of Judas is what I am, ′cause I've betrayed you time and again,
You must be used to the sting upon your cheek, taken from the kiss of my humanity.

Now I′m the one who comes to kiss you, wearing a mask and a guilty stain,
Somehow, you see beyond the mud on my face and you wash it away in the river of grace.


I walked away from everything,
I heard warning bells and I let them ring,
Soon I was drowning, felt I didn't have a prayer,
You rescued me from the darkness of despair.

Now I'm the one who comes to kiss you, wearing a mask and a guilty stain,
Somehow, you see beyond the mud on my face and you wash it away in the river of grace.

There is no distance wide enough to ever separate me from your love,
There is no darkness so great I could not see the saving grace that′s flowing over me.

I am the one who comes to kiss you, wearing a mask and a guilty stain,
Somehow, you see beyond the mud on my face and you wash it away in the river of grace,
In exchange for all my weakness, you freely gave your embrace,
You took my brokenness, my every mistake, and covered it all in the river of grace.
