My heart was racing
While raising my hand
I was 13
More like 12 and a half
My knees were shaking
When I tried to move
I didn't know much
But right then I knew
The God of Salvation
Called me out by name
Just as I am
Like the choir would sing
I went up to the preacher
I said help me to pray
We said our amens
Then I heard him say
Take it in
Don't forget
Today is the day
Your new life begins
Remember how
You feel right now
Oh that fire in your bones
Will never let you down
Oh and come back to the moment
Whenever your heart aches
Thank the Lord and say
"Here's to the day, the day that I met grace"
I look in the mirror
Almost every day
Trying to find that kid
But my dad's in the way
I need him to know
That moment wasn't in vain
Through the highs and lows
I'm still amazed by grace
And those preacher's words
They still resonate
Take it in
Don't forget
Today is the day
Your new life begins
Remember how
You feel right now
Oh that fire in your bones
Will never let you down
Oh and come back to the moment
Whenever your heart aches
Praise the Lord and say
"Here's to the day, the day that I met grace"
The day that I met grace
