This week’s featured song story comes to us from MercyMe. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their new single “Grace Got You (feat. John Reuben).”
Grace Got You’ is just a song that makes me smile. The whole idea that once you realize that God’s grace has you…no matter what comes your way, you can live your life as if you’ve already read the last page of the book and know how the whole thing turns out. Our eternity is set! On your worst day, Christ is OK with you. He adores you. He’s pleased with you. How is that possible? No clue, but it is. That’s the most amazing news of all!When we originally made the album, we wanted to have someone rap, but we didn’t know who we were going to get. Our paths crossed with a guy who used to be on Gotee Records named John Reuben – who we had done stuff early on with when we were all new together – and we asked him if he’d come out of retirement to rap on the song. It turned out so fun, and totally matched the vibe of the song. – Bart Millard (MercyMe)

“Grace Got You (feat. John Reuben)” Lyrics
Have you ever met those who
Keep humming when the song’s through
It’s like
They’re living life to a whole different tune
Have you ever met those that
Keep hoping when it’s hopeless
It’s like
They’ve figured out what the rest haven’t yet
The second you realize
What you have inside
It’s only just a matter of time
Until you
Sing
So the back row hears you
Glide
‘Cuz walking just won’t do
Dance
You don’t have to know how to
Ever since ever since
Grace got you
Laugh
‘Til your whole side’s hurting
Smile
Like you just got away with something
Why
‘Cuz you just got away with something
Ever since ever since
Grace got you
So when you’re standing in the rain again
You might as well be dancin’
Why
‘Cuz there ain’t no storm that can change how this ends
So next time when you feel blue
Don’t let that smile leave you
Why
‘Cuz you have every reason just to
Got away with something
Bubbling inside of you
Spilling over cause your life is full
How incredible
Undeniable, monumental like the Eiffel
Uncontrollable let the joy flow through
Ha ha!
Giddy over pity, pretty please
Let me see your hands in the air with you out your seats
Warm it up
Let go
Shout it out
Celebrate
When you can’t articulate, just say amazing grace
