This morning as I sat down with the Lord to write in my journal, I was reminded of this song called, “Add to the Beauty” by Sara Groves.

I remember listening to this song many years ago when I was in a really bad place in life –somehow I would cling to the hope that my life could have meaning and purpose, even though it seemed impossible at the time. That brings me to one of my favorite lyrics from this song, “This is grace, an invitation to be beautiful. This is grace, an invitation”….

“Add To The Beauty” by Sara Groves

We come with beautiful secrets
We come with purposes written on our hearts, written on our souls
We come to every new morning
With possibilities only we can hold, that only we can hold

Redemption comes in strange places, small spaces
Calling out the best of who we are

And I want to add to the beauty
To tell a better story
I want to shine with the light
That’s burning up inside

It comes in small inspirations
It brings redemption to life and work
To our lives and our work

It comes in loving community
It comes in helping a soul find it’s worth

Redemption comes in strange places, small spaces
Calling out the best of who we are

And I want to add to the beauty
To tell a better story
I want to shine with the light
That’s burning up inside

This is grace, an invitation to be beautiful
This is grace, an invitation

Redemption comes in strange places, small spaces
Calling out our best

And I want to add to the beauty
To tell a better story
I want to shine with the light
That’s burning up inside
