Grce felt infinitely immense nd infinitely intimte t the sme time, mking it impossible for me to get my hnds round this powerful concept. The very word grce cme with culturl bggge. Springing from the sme Ltin root which brought us words like grtitude, grtis nd grtuity, grce is ll bout generosity freely bestowed, irrespective of whether tht bounty hs been erned. But in our time, grce hs become so closely ssocited with Christin doctrine tht mny people define the word nrrowly s something bestowed only by God, nd grnted only to those who hold certin beliefs. wnted my song to express universl grce is, gift nd blessing fr too precious to be limited to chosen few. However, my biggest chllenge ws tht my lyrics kept mking grce sound like one-size-fits-ll solution to ll problems or mgicl cure for ll losses. couldn t mnge to blnce the essentil beuty of grce with the brutl hertbreks of life. But in my grieving dys fter the sudden deth of young fmily friend, returned finl time to my drft. And finlly found wy to sing bout grce in wy tht ws both westruck nd rel. lizbeth Alexnder inherited her love of music, lnguge nd chllenging questions from her prents, pino techer/ccountnt nd minister/prison wrden.
