Closing Songs Open the week.
The end of a worship service often lands on encouragement, unity, and a call to action. A good song can stick with us through the week ahead, maybe hum it through the week.
The Grace is one of those songs. The melody is compelling & optimistic, the chorus has a powerful punchline “You've made me your child and that cannot be undone”, and each verse clearly unfolds the meaning of the church's ‘Trinitarian companion' to the Aaronic blessing, 'The Grace’ from 2 Corinthians 13:14. If you've been saying it every Sunday, maybe it's time to sing it ?!

FAQ for Worship Leaders
Q: Does “The Grace” work with just acoustic guitar?
A: Yes. It's loosely based on an Irish folk tune so can be delivered just with a guitar or piano in 6/8, and it's easy to harmonise if you want to sing it voices only.
Q: When in the service should I use it?
A: As the final sung act of worship beside benediction or combined with spoken blessing
Immediately after a commissioning moment
Because it's a song about the gospel and the Trinity, you can sing it after communion, on trinity sunday, or highlight one of the verses: 1. The love of the Father. 2. The grace of the Son. 3. The fellowship of the Spirit.
