  • If grace was a kingdom
    I stopped at the gate
    Thinking I don't deserve to pass through after all the mistakes that I've made

    Oh but I heard a whisper
    As Heaven bent down
    Said, "Child, don't you know that the first will be last and the last get a crown"

    Now I'm just a beggar in the presence of a King
    I wish I could bring so much more
    But if it's true You use broken things
    Then here I am Lord, I'm all Yours

    The pages of history they tell me it's true
    That it's never the perfect; it's always the ones with the scars that You use

    It's the rebels and the prodigals; it's the humble and the weak
    All the misfit heroes You chose
    Tell me there's hope for sinners like me

    Now I'm just a beggar in the presence of a King
    I wish I could bring so much more
    But if it's true You use broken things
    Then here I am Lord, I'm all Yours

    Grace is a kingdom
    With gates open wide
    There's a seat at the table just waiting for you
    So, come on inside Writer/s: Andrew Jacob Pruis, Jason C Houser, Matthew West
