Townsend, Devin - Grace Lyrics

This song to me is the redemptive message of what the grace of God could mean. Religious connotation aside, the archetypal idea of grace in a world of suffering is enough to warrant a lifetime of awe. This performance is so moving to me in that way. At its best, it’s flawed men performing in a way that exhibits and imbues the pure and unadulterated love of God.

Oh and to be honest, all I have to do is check yer page or post something and I see you get juiced from it because of the Need for my attention that you truly have. Or it wouldn’t make you feel better about yourself would it? ;) your ego is the easiest thing to use against you to keep you at bay. Jus sayin.. may as well be honest now and get it all out there and released. Imagine watching someone like that ;)

What the fuck?! I dont' know, but... I LOVE IT !!! 🤘❤🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This is an awesome example of having something move through you without the need for religion.. however it's just as powerful. Absolutely love this song.

Is this even music?!?

Can anyone enlighten me on Anekkas surname? And if she has done any solo albums etc? Her voice is enchanting!!

Love it, mindblowing performance and sound, anneke beautiful and enchanting.

Still ENORMOUS !! ... Dev forever !

He sings what white girls nowadays tattoo on their arms.

I'll have to watch it a few thousand more times to take it all in! Amazing!... And Anneke's voice? Beautiful!

I always laugh at pausing 3:59

They're being sarcastic, yeah?

I can't remember the last time I was completely blown away by a song to the point of of not being able to move until it ended.
I think it was the first time I heard Heavy Metal when I was 10. (Iron Maiden's Number Of The Beast.)

Weakness IS strength..

Annie makes this perfection...

Just bought tickets to Devin's concert in Montreal, so sad Anneke isn't coming too, I've been a fan since the late 90s

Such a powerfull message. Some say cheesy... But how could it be cheesy? We as in humanity have so much to learn. If we lived by these principles... Heaven would be so much closer. Yet we always complicate EVERYTHING. This makes me cry for several reasons 🤘🤘💓💓

Why did I just find out about this. It’s been there for 6 years now

lol @ 4:00 homie shooting sparks at that chick

Might be the greatest song ever composed.... I am both banging my head while looking for my scripture 😊
The very best of both worlds !!!!!!

Such a beautiful and moving song, like the many devin has already graced us with. Thank you heavy Devy

Devin is brilliant

I love Anneke’s part in the first segment of the song, I wish the whole song was like that.

Anneke <3

Which church is this?

Tao Metal.

The devil is tone deaf, lol. NOIZ be gone.

what the fuuuuuuuuuck?!?!?!?!

I think I just experienced a quadruple eargasm

113 down thumbs? Chop them off!

Holy fucking shit. This is just amazing. I honestly can't listen to anything else now. It would suck in comparison to this.

This is Devins most important work of music. Listening to it is like falling in love every time. This song is more powerful than any death-metal song. It's like that scene in monsters inc when they realize laughing produces more energy than screams.
Devin is a treasure that must be protected at all costs.

This is the national anthem of mankind, welcome to earth

I adore her voice, such a good fit with DTP.

I'm here to apologise to everyone that it's taken all of my 34 years on this planet to discover Devin.

I was nearly 50. Still catching up.

Me too, I'm 44 years old and I discovered Devin since only 6 years (thanks to Anneke from The Gathering) What a void in my musical culture ! But the great plus point is that I have a lot to discover from him.

I heard this for the 1st time just now...I dont think I was ready for it...Im crying <3

Its so much sound coming at me.

This performance was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I'm all teary.

20 times.......

really? almost 6 min of the same E power chord...people divinize the most banal work of the artists, thats why they have to produce more simplistic compositions in order to survive...so sad. Positivity dont means superficiality.

That was the biggest criticism of this album. Luckily his two major releases since then have been wildly complicated and varied prog albums.

What a amazing song!

I'm crying

Anneke is...................

What a moving song!

I wish the music at my church was like this

I can't find this song on Spotify

Interresting thing I discovered thanks to Devin; The first time I ate shrooms I was listening to this song. Ever since whenever I do drugs I literally hear this exact same song in my ears. No matter what kind of drugs. My coinciousness was created by Devin himself. Whenever I feel truly awake I hear Devin's music echoing through my thoughts. I do not believe in a god, but I believe that humans created god during the influence. Devin became somewhat of a god to me. Someone, something that I need to rely on to continue thinking, dreaming and living.

I might just be high right now.

First time hearing this - ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!! MIND BLOWING. :-)

Devin has to be the ruler of the world....and anneke.....great voice also!!

So I wasted all this time with colorless music? I missed him in concert? I now know what missing out is like. Some things are learned the hard way. :(

thank you devin for the warning. i will never fear love. i was ready to give up but you are right. i love you.

That opening riff never fails to bring me to tears. This is arguably one of his best songs he's ever written, and it's absolutely incredible. I love you, Devin. ❤️

Gorgeous. Epic. Powerful. \m/

fucking amazing

....and this is the song i want to be carried out to on the day im in a casket in church

New to Devin and i feel like I’m being sucked into a gravity well and that I cannot escape , I’m gorging on his stuff as quickly as possible , my life has a changed forever

aaaaaaahhhhhh this is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great song! The stage performance is something else though... that guy with the Flex... :D

Oh my goodness..

Incredible

I love the prowl at 3:15. It's as intense a thing as I've ever seen on a stage. What a beast this man is.

WTF is that dude doing with that poor angle grinder!

If I would go to church, that's what I 'll expect from a mass.

welp, in some sort of way this made me cry

Normally this sort of approach to music to me would feel forced, and I can see this feeling that way for some, but I found that song to be really moving. I find I can really feel the amount of pure joy just being poured from Devin's crazy mind into this :D

122 people fear love.

My god.

Astounding musically. But Christianity? Thanks no thanks.

Really, that's your takeaway? That's a shame. They are a prop, the same as ziltoid. Nothing more...

Yeah, we’ll there is enough shame to go around. Peace and love are great, but not when it’s transported in a vehicle of fantasy and fairy tales.

Grace
Devin Townsend
We know that it's only human
We know that it's only love
We know that its far too close to home
To see it now
Love all we can before
We learn all we came for
Learn all we can before
The road leads to home
Grace, grace, grace, grace
High road warning
High road warning
Grace, grace, grace, grace (Say no more)
High road warning
High road warning
Laugh, love, live, learn
Laugh, love, live, learn
Eternal I, eternal I, eternal I, I, I
My child tells me
We are the fallen men
My child tells me
We are the fallen men
Laugh, love, live, learn
Laugh, love, live, learn
Oh my god
Grace, grace, grace, grace
Never fear love

Never fear love
(Road)
Never fear love

(Road)
Never fear love
(Warning)
We know that it's only human
We know that it's only love
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love
Love all we can
I know the way, and you know the way
We all fall down if we fear love
Never fear love
Never fear love
Never fear love
(Warning)
Never fear love
Never fear love
Never fear love

It’s about as epic as music can get

I know Devin is pretty big now, but I am still amazed why he is not super popular like all the other tasteless "artists" on the billboard. I mean people have bad taste to waste their time on crappy pop songs over this kind of real gem.

Remember when rock was fun (chemicals were used at the time, I wonder if that's a coincidence) xPPP

Мистерия!!!👍👍

This song is really AWESOME... in all possible ways...

Devin thanks for touching my life with your music.

Wish i had wrote this song :c

Very nice!

Anneke and Devin owned this shit!!!!!

Can't listen to this song without shedding a few tears. Beautiful instrumentation, beautiful lyrics, beautiful singing, and a beautiful message as well. Thank you, Devin.

THIS reminds me humans do always suck

Still coming back here 🎧

I love how you read the lyrics and they're like a paragraph long and you listen to the song and it's a world long.

the first time I watched this video was kind of like a religious experience for me, I actually shed some tears, it was just too much, too good. I have watched it at least two dozen times over the years. each time I think "oh, okay, I'm over it now", and each bloody time by the end I'm wiping off my wet face wondering what just happened, all over again.

Such Beautiful Music, And People around the world are missing out on Devin's Beautiful Creative Force. 😞

you cannot possibly ever pack more sound into a single song and still be as coherent as Devin does. It is impossible.

This is...i don't even know what to say ...

The heaviest Fleetwood Mac song ever written. Genius Dev

is that makeup or an injury on the side of Devins face? Epic performance!

makeup. you can tell by this point he's sweating it off a little on the blu ray

stupid song makes me cry every time, dammit dev

I came here for my recommended daily allowance of full-body goosebumps and tears and awe.

not every song that exists have important lyrics, this is one of those exceptions!



and if you do not believe me, would you say that lyrics from "Infant Annihilator" have an important message? (i like their music but reading the lyrics on lyrics video makes me feel like the song's awesomeness dropped by 90%...)

This is the first time I've seen this live and... there are not words. Someone below said they cried 'nerd tears.' Yeah, that's the feeling for sure. Wow.

Rocky Horror Picture Show goes to church......

why am I so aroused?

Ooooh Anneke... <3 Such an enchanting voice.

This is pure coincidence, but in the early 90's there was this song called "Som en svala följer vinden" by swedish artist Peggy, that uses an almost identical melody during the chorus as Anekke's part at the beginning of this one. Kinda cool, because I loved that song as a little kid almost as much I love this while walking outside while it snows.

This is the entrance theme to heaven, and I'm ok with this

Wonderful, - Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, Dream Theatre, early Genisis, Emerson Lake & Palmer,
Rush, and more - all from one man. Amazing

I will return
