Grace by U2

Grace
She takes the blame
She covers the shame
Removes the stain
It could be her name  
                                                                        GRACE                                              
Grace
It's a name for a girl
It's also a thought that changed the world
And when she walks one the street                                           
You can hear the strings
Grace finds goodness in everything
                                                                           REMOVES THE
Grace, she's got the walk
Not on a ramp or on chalk
She's got the time to talk
She travels outside of karma
She travels outside of karma
When she goes to work
You can hear her strings
Grace finds beauty in everything
                                                                            STAINS
Grace, she carries a world on her hips
No champagne flute for her lips
No twirls or skips between her fingertips
She carries a pearl in perfect condition



What once was hurt
What once was friction
What left a mark
No longer stings
Because grace makes beauty
Out of ugly things



Grace makes beauty out of ugly things

Grace can be a beautiful thing and not just something that becomes a blessing for the undeserved. I'm not a giver of grace, I'm a "he got what he deserved" type person. But when I hear this song, I hear Grace is "also a thought that changed the world." That Grace changes this world. That blessing the undeserved changes this world, and in a positive way. Grace took away "what left a mark" and made it "no longer sting". When I don't deserve something I know I don't deserve it, but nothing feels better then when grace steps in and blesses me with taking away my "what once was hurt". This song is inspirational to me because it tells me how I can help change the world; how I can come along side the undeserved and instead of taking away hope of removing their stains I try and help remove them.
