Grace

Listen to U2's  Grace on YouTube. The words are below.

Bono's comments on the song. "There are a couple of my favourite people rolled in to that lyric but the most important thing is that they personify my favourite word in the lexicon of the English language. It's a word I'm depending on. The universe operates by Karma, we all know that. For every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. There is atonement built in: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Then enters Grace and turns that upside down. I love it."

Grace



Grace, she takes the blame


She covers the shame


Removes the stain


It could be her name


Grace, it's the name for a girl


It's also a thought that could change the world


And when she walks on the street 


You can hear the strings


Grace finds goodness in everything





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, karma


She travels outside of karma


When she goes to work 


You can hear the strings


Grace finds beauty in everything



Grace, she carries a world on her hips


No champagne flue 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 finds beauty in everything 


Grace finds goodness in everything


"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." Ephesians ２：８−９
