<\/a>In college, I sang with a women\u2019s choir. Now we sang much of the same type of music. Close four-part harmonies was our repertoire. For some reason though, for me, our music never quite reached the pinnacle of the men\u2019s choir.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
And for whatever reason, men\u2019s groups have seemed to blossom while women\u2019s harmonic groups haven\u2019t been as popular. But in the early 1990\u2019s, a women\u2019s quartet showed up on the music charts. Their close harmonies rivaled any male vocal group and still today, when I hear one of their songs, I\u2019m drawn to their sound.<\/p>\n

Perhaps you know some Point of Grace songs. \u201cHow You Live (Turn Up the Music),\u201d \u201cKing of the World,\u201d \u201cThere is Nothing Greater Than Grace,\u201d and \u201cCircle of Friends\u201d might be a song you\u2019ve enjoyed from Point of Grace. I know I have certainly loved hearing them.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s song is also one that touches me when I hear it. \u201cBefore the Throne of Grace\u201d shares the desire of each heart as we stand before God with repentant hearts and ask for His forgiveness. Knowing we are not worthy of this forgiveness, we find God\u2019s throne of grace to be filled with mercy and love.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cYour debt is paid, your name is clear\u201d are words that allow us to face the day refreshed and renewed. Perhaps you need to spend some time at the throne of grace today. If so, know that these very words can be said of you. All you need to do is meet God there.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.\u201d<\/em> (Hebrews 4:16 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cBefore the Throne of Grace\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Before the throne of grace I come<\/p>\n Humble and repentant one<\/p>\n With sorrow for the deeds I’ve done<\/p>\n Before the throne of grace I come<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Before the throne of grace I fall<\/p>\n With a trembling voice I call<\/p>\n For pardon from the Lord of all<\/p>\n Before the throne of grace I fall<\/p>\n I love the Lamb who took my sin<\/p>\n Whose mercy makes me clean again<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Before the throne of grace I hear<\/p>\n \u201cYour debt is paid; your name is clear\u201d<\/p>\n Such precious words of life so dear<\/p>\n Before the throne of grace I hear<\/p>\n I love the Lamb who took my sin<\/p>\n Whose mercy makes me clean again<\/p>\n I rise with words of grateful praise<\/p>\n Knowing now the only way<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Before the throne of grace I stand<\/p>\n All because the Son of Man<\/p>\n Bears my wounds in His feet and hands<\/p>\n So before the throne of grace I stand<\/p>\n Before the throne of grace I stand[i]<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
