Grace Stretched Across the Sky - Gloria Guest

A rainbow stretches wide across the purple, rain-drenched sky It’s many blended hues forming an archway to new life, God fulfills His promises throughout eternity A God of second chances, Grace stretched across the sky. His aching arms strain wide across a darkened, sun-stripped sky While pierced brow bends to his chest and blood pours from his side, It trickles down the burdened cross and soaks into the ground, Rejuvenating earths lost souls Grace stretched across the sky. As daybreak slowly steals across an Easter morning sky It’s soft and shining light reveals an open, empty tomb, And standing tall in morning mist on distant blood soaked hill, A silhouetted, naked cross Grace stretched across the sky. The risen Son, poured out as wine, arms stretched up to the sky His friends all closely gathered near as He begins to rise, Fulfilling all His promises throughout eternity The clouds reach out to gather Him, Grace stretched across the sky.
