Light of Grace
Failure, Shame, Hope
I wrote this song about my own experience of failure, shame, and discovery of grace. I have no desire to whitewash guilt. There is no need to deny justice—only to realize there is another voice calling out to those who have fallen.
When we find grace, we find hope and renewed purpose.
I hope the one who needs the message of this song will hear it.
—Tim Tedder
What does grace look like for those who feel beyond it? Tim Tedder and Betsy Prentice reflect on Light of Grace—a song that opens the door to honest conversation about shame, judgment, and redemption. They speak candidly about the experience of infidelity, the isolating weight of shame, and the messages that either helped or hindered healing. This is a vulnerable, hope-filled conversation for anyone lost in failure and longing for light to break through.

Light of Grace
With one page, the story turns
With one spark, the whole world burns
You gripped the sky that turned to stone
So far fallen, so alone
From the ruins of the fight
Shining through the walls of night
In this shattered, broken place
Look to the light of grace
Look to the light of grace
Whispers weaving through the room
Testimonies of your doom
Bowed before the scroll you wait
For judgement's hand to seal your fate
From the ruins of the fight
Shining through the walls of night
In this shattered, broken place
Look to the light of grace
Look to the light of grace
This is where the mystery bends
A failing start - a favored end
Choices you cannot undo
But now a hope for something new
In this shattered, broken place
Look to the light of grace
Look to the light of grace
Look to the light of grace
