Grace That Finds Me
← Back to AlbumAbout This Song
“Grace That Finds Me” is a heartfelt anthem about the relentless pursuit of God’s grace, even when we feel unworthy or far from Him. It’s for the moments when we feel like we’ve drifted too far, made too many mistakes, or simply aren’t good enough. But the truth is, grace doesn’t wait for us to get it right—it meets us exactly where we are.
Ephesians 2:8-9 reminds us, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.” Grace isn’t something we earn or deserve; it’s freely given. This song reflects that beautiful truth, capturing the wonder of a love that finds us in our lowest places and lifts us up.
Romans 5:8 speaks to the heart of this message: “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” God didn’t wait for us to clean ourselves up before offering His grace. He saw us at our worst and chose to love us anyway.
“Grace That Finds Me” also draws from 2 Corinthians 12:9, where God says, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The song acknowledges our weakness but doesn’t dwell there. Instead, it celebrates the sufficiency of God’s grace, which is always enough, no matter how broken we feel.
This track is a reminder that no matter where you are in life—whether you feel close to God or distant—His grace is always reaching out to you. It’s an invitation to stop striving, let go of shame, and simply rest in the truth that His grace has already found you.

🌿 Grace That Finds Us Where We Hide
There are places in the human heart so wounded, so tangled in shame or self-doubt, that we wonder if God could still find us there. And yet, “Grace That Finds Me” gently reminds us: He already has. Not because we called Him, but because He never stopped looking. Because His grace isn’t reactive—it’s redemptive. It moves first, it searches deep, and it meets us long before we’re ready to be found.
Jehovah Chesed—the Lord of Mercy—is not waiting at a distance with arms crossed. He’s the One who steps into the valley, who walks the path we fled, who writes mercy over every lie of unworthiness. Like the psalmist declares in Psalm 139: “If I make my bed in hell, You are there.” His grace isn’t repelled by our failure—it’s magnetized to it, moved by love to pursue, restore, and heal.
📖 Scripture Reflection
“But God, who is rich in mercy… even when we were dead in sins, made us alive with Christ—by grace you have been saved.” — Ephesians 2:4–5
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8
These verses dismantle every lie of disqualification. Grace is not given once we “get better.” It’s poured out precisely when we’re at our lowest. Christ died not for the deserving, but for the desperate. The grace that finds you is not fragile—it is fierce, enduring, and sufficient (2 Corinthians 12:9).
💧 For the One Who Thinks It’s Too Late
There’s a quiet ache in the lyrics: *“I thought my failure sealed my fate, but You wrote mercy over hate.”* How many of us have carried burdens we were never meant to bear? How often have we assumed our mistakes outran His kindness? The truth is, Jehovah Chesed has never been afraid of our mess. His love doesn’t retreat at the sight of our scars—it flows toward them. That’s the grace that finds us.
Isaiah 30:18 says, “The LORD longs to be gracious to you… blessed are all who wait for Him.” That longing is not passive—it’s patient. God waits to be gracious not because He’s unsure, but because He’s tender. He knows when we’re ready to be found, and He meets us with healing—not lectures. With presence, not pressure. With embrace, not exile.
🕊️ Let Grace Rewrite Your Story
Grace is not just an idea—it’s a Person. It’s Jesus, stepping into every desert you’ve wandered and every night you’ve wept through. And when you finally stop running and collapse in surrender, you’ll realize He was never far. His grace was always one whisper away.
Reflection Questions:
– What area of your life have you hidden from God’s mercy?
– Have you allowed grace to reach even the places that still hurt?
– Can you trust that His love is stronger than your past?
Today, let go. Stop striving. His grace has already found you. Now receive it—fully, freely, and without fear.
🙏 Prayer
Jehovah Chesed, my heart trembles at the thought that You never gave up on me. Even when I fled, even when I believed I was too far gone—Your mercy pursued me. You walked into the darkness I hid in and whispered, “I still want you.”
Thank You for the grace that finds me, again and again. Thank You for writing mercy over my regret and love over my silence. I lay down the shame, the striving, the wounds, and the weight. I open my hands now—not to fix myself, but to receive the gift I could never earn.
Let Your grace heal what I’ve buried. Let it flow into the dry places of my soul. Let it lift my head and remind me: I am not forgotten. I am found. Fully, finally, forever. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Song Lyrics
Grace That Finds Me
Theme: The overwhelming grace of God that reaches us even in our lowest moments.
Scripture Inspiration: Ephesians 2:8 – “For it is by grace you have been saved.”
Name of God: Jehovah Chesed (The Lord of Mercy)
Verse 1:
I’ve run as far as I could go,
Through deserts dry, through valleys low.
But no matter how far I’ve fled,
Your grace still found the path I tread.
But no matter how far I’ve fled,
Your grace still found the path I tread.
I thought I’d slipped beyond Your reach,
But mercy taught what pride can’t teach.
When I was lost and out of sight,
Your grace pursued me through the night.
Chorus:
Jehovah Chesed, You find me still,
In broken dreams and shattered will.
Your mercy flows where I can’t see,
Your grace keeps chasing after me.
You don’t give up, You never leave,
Jehovah Chesed, You still believe.
Verse 2:
I lay it down, this weight I bear,
Knowing You’ve been always there.
I thought my failure sealed my fate,
But You wrote mercy over hate.
So here I am with open hands,
Receiving what I can’t understand.
Your grace is more than I deserve,
A love that I could never earn.
Bridge:
For hearts that think they’ve gone too far,
Jehovah Chesed, heal their scars.
Let them feel Your mercy’s pull,
Fill their emptiness, make them whole.
Show them grace, break their chains,
Let Your love erase their shame.
Outro:
May His grace find you where you hide,
May His mercy turn the tide.
Jehovah Chesed sees your pain,
And His love will heal again.
Pray for those who feel too far gone to experience Jehovah Chesed’s unwavering mercy. May His grace meet you in hidden places and lead you gently back into His love.Spiritual Engagement

Surmon Notes
🔥 Sermon: When Grace Finds You
🕊️ Grace Doesn’t Wait—It Pursues
As we continue our journey through the album Shadows of Yesterday, we arrive at a tender turning point—a song not of triumph after the battle, but of mercy in the middle of the mess. “Grace That Finds Me” is more than a lyrical confession. It is a prophetic truth: God doesn’t wait for us to be whole before He loves us. He comes while we’re still broken.
Romans 5:8 proclaims, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” This is not just a theological statement—it’s a declaration of divine pursuit. Grace is not passive. Grace walks into deserts. Grace sits down in our valleys. Grace speaks while we are still running. It does not call us to climb out of shame; it descends to pull us up.
The lyrics say: “No matter how far I’ve fled, Your grace still found the path I tread.” There’s an image here of a Shepherd who walks the long road, searching for the one sheep that wandered off. Jehovah Chesed—The Lord of Mercy—is not scanning the horizon with disappointment. He is walking it with compassion.
Psalm 139 reminds us: even if we make our bed in hell, He is there. Grace isn’t frightened by our failures; it’s magnetized to them. Why? Because grace sees what shame tries to hide—our worth in the eyes of the Father.
💧 When Mercy Meets Weakness
The tension between our past and our new identity in Christ is the very heartbeat of Shadows of Yesterday. And nowhere is this clearer than in the song’s refrain: “I thought my failure sealed my fate, but You wrote mercy over hate.” How often do we internalize the lie that we’ve gone too far? That the last mistake, the last relapse, the last outburst has finally exhausted God’s patience?
But hear the Word of the Lord in 2 Corinthians 12:9: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Not in strength. Not in polished performance. In weakness.
Let that settle. God is not disappointed by your need for Him. He is glorified in it. In fact, His grace is most fully visible when we are at our most desperate. When we finally stop striving and start surrendering, grace gets to work.
This is not permission to remain bound—it’s an invitation to be truly free. Titus 3:5 says, “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us.” That word “saved” implies more than forgiveness—it means healed, delivered, made whole.
Jehovah Chesed meets us not with lectures, but with love. He breaks the chains gently. He restores the weary patiently. He loves us fiercely. And when we finally let go, He fills every shattered space with His mercy.
🌿 You Are Not Beyond Redemption
The bridge of the song shifts from confession to intercession: “For hearts that think they’ve gone too far, Jehovah Chesed, heal their scars.” This is the cry of a disciple who has encountered grace and now pleads for others to know it too.
Perhaps you feel like those hearts today. Tired. Tainted. Too far gone. But Isaiah 30:18 declares, “The Lord longs to be gracious to you.” His longing isn’t passive—it’s burning. His mercy is not held back by your failure—it is drawn toward it.
Let this truth pierce the fog of guilt: Your past doesn’t have the power to cancel God’s promises. The cross already dealt with your sin. Grace has never been about your goodness—it has always been about His.
So today, let God rewrite your story. Let Him walk into the wilderness you’ve wandered, the pain you’ve buried, the shame you’ve silenced. Let Him speak again: “I still want you. I still love you. I’m not finished yet.”
As disciples, encouragers, worshippers, and faith carriers, we are not meant to merely survive—we are meant to rise. This is the invitation of grace: to receive it, to be restored by it, and then to carry it boldly into a hurting world.
Prayer
Abba Father, Jehovah Chesed, we thank You for the grace that finds us. When we had no strength left to return, You came running. When we believed our story had ended, You began a new chapter. Thank You for writing mercy over our brokenness.
We lay down every lie that says we are too far gone. We surrender every weight we’ve carried for too long. And we ask You—come with healing. Come with hope. Come with grace, fresh like morning dew. Find us where we are and lead us where You are.
Restore our identity in You. Remind us that we are not defined by our past, but by Your promise. Fill us again with the joy of our salvation. Use us to speak life to others who are still hiding. Let us carry the sound of grace wherever we go.
In Jesus’ name, amen.

🎵 Cue gentle intro music 🎵
Hi friends, and welcome back to another episode in our *Shadows of Yesterday* worship series. I’m so grateful you’ve joined me today for a song that ministers deeply to the weary, the ashamed, and the ones who’ve wondered, *“Have I gone too far for grace to find me?”* If that’s ever been you—or someone you love—then this episode is a prophetic reminder: *You are not beyond His reach.* The song is titled *Grace That Finds Me*, and today, we’re diving into the mercy of Jehovah Chesed, the Lord of Compassion, who still believes in us even when we don’t believe in ourselves.
👑 His Kingship Is Eternal
🎶 Instrumental swell 🎶
Our journey through this album reminds us that Yeshua is not just King over victory—He’s King over valleys. The beauty of His reign is not just in majesty, but in mercy. *Grace That Finds Me* begins with these haunting words: *“I’ve run as far as I could go, through deserts dry, through valleys low.”* And yet, it doesn’t end there. The song quickly pivots: *“Your grace still found the path I tread.”* That’s the power of divine kingship—His authority includes the places we think are too desolate to be ruled by love.
Romans 5:8 declares, *“While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”* That means He didn’t wait for us to climb our way out—He came running. He ruled from a cross before He ruled from a throne. And that cross still speaks: *Mercy reigns.* Even in the darkest places, the government is still upon His shoulders—and the arms of that government are open wide.
🙌 Surrender Is the Sound of Worship
🎶 Cue brief instrumental interlude 🎶
One of the most powerful moments in the song is this lyric: *“I lay it down, this weight I bear, knowing You’ve been always there.”* It’s a quiet surrender, not forced or frantic. And this surrender becomes worship—not in a loud anthem, but in a whispered admission that we are not enough, and He is.
2 Corinthians 12:9 reminds us, *“My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.”* So here’s the question: Have you been hiding your weakness like it disqualifies you from God’s presence? Or could it be the very doorway into deeper intimacy?
The worship God desires isn’t polished—it’s honest. Maybe today, worship is not a song you sing, but a wound you reveal. Maybe it’s opening your hands like the lyrics say: *“So here I am with open hands, receiving what I can’t understand.”* That is worship. That is surrender. And in that moment, grace floods in.
🛡️ Intercession: When Worship Becomes Warfare
🎵 Pause. Let Holy Spirit bring names to mind 🎵
The bridge of the song shifts the focus: *“For hearts that think they’ve gone too far, Jehovah Chesed, heal their scars.”* This is the call to intercession—to carry in our hearts those who have lost hope, those who believe grace is for others, but not for them.
Isaiah 30:18 says, *“The Lord longs to be gracious to you.”* That longing doesn’t just extend to us—it burns for every person still hiding in shame. So right now, let’s pause. Ask the Holy Spirit to bring someone to mind—a friend, a prodigal, a pastor hiding in burnout, a son or daughter running far. Call their name before the throne.
Because when worship becomes intercession, it becomes warfare. We partner with heaven to pull people from the shadows into the embrace of mercy. This is how we stand in the gap: not with judgment, but with tears and tenderness—believing grace can still find them, too.
🌍 Final Reflections: A Life That Crowns Him Daily
Grace is not just something that happens at the altar—it’s something we live in, day by day. And maybe today, you need to crown Him again. Not because you’ve stopped believing in Him, but because you’ve stopped believing He still believes in you.
Psalm 139 reminds us: *“If I make my bed in hell, You are there.”* That means even if you ran this morning, even if you failed yesterday, even if the shame still stings—He’s still there. So stop striving. Stop rehearsing the guilt. Let grace tell the story now.
🎶 Soft outro music begins 🎶
Ask yourself:
– Have I let grace into the places I still hide?
– Can I receive mercy not just for my past, but for my present weakness?
– Who is God calling me to carry in prayer today?
You are not forgotten. You are not too far. His grace has already found you. Let that be your song this week.
🙏 Closing Prayer
Jehovah Chesed, You who never give up on the wounded, we come with hands open. We confess the running, the hiding, the pretending—and we ask You to meet us here again. Let Your grace pour into every unhealed place, every fear, every regret. We receive it. Not because we’ve earned it, but because You’re just that good.
For those who still feel too far, whisper truth again: *“I still want you.”* And let our lives become altars of gratitude—daily testimonies that grace still finds the broken. Let us sing, let us intercede, let us walk free. In the name of Yeshua, the One who found us when we were still running. Amen.
