about

"Charis"--or grace-- is the greek word used in the New Testament to describe Gods merciful favor by which he influences individuals to turn toward Christ.

From the perspective of a prayerful yet fickle person who is asking to be given an identity and an unwavering, meaningful foundation on which to base her life.

lyrics

My Prayer is,
My prayer is

Just a drop in the ocean of many other prayers
Will this drop be chosen, or sink into the foam?
Falling into coolness, lost in a current
Running into things that ruin all discernment

Grace Charis, smile at me
I need someone to give me an identity
that I can’t abandon
Adonai, I am shy of doing what I
know you want from me
You said I was free!

I trust myself every single day,
But I always go the wrong way
Lock me up in hopeful, lasting love
So I cannot say, “I’ve had enough!”

How am I so happy with the life I have?
With a puzzle piece missing, this picture is a laugh
There are some questions living in my head
I’m as white as snow but still I’m fighting red

Grace Charis, smile at me
I need someone to give me an identity
that I can’t abandon
Adonai, I am shy of doing what I
know you want from me
You said I was free!

I trust myself every single day,
But I always go the wrong way
Lock me up in hopeful, lasting love
So I cannot say, “I’ve had enough!”
