Grace London Music

Our first single, ‘Crucible’ is out now.

Story

Indwelling sin often goes unnoticed, staying hidden for long stretches. But occasionally, it surfaces, causing hurt to others and leaving you no other option but to stare it in the face.

The chorus of Crucible was written in one such moment. It bubbled up as a prayer of repentance, a cry for God to "purify my heart!" I don’t want to keep sinning like this. Do whatever it takes to create a pure heart in me.

The Father showers us with grace in these moments. He knows our sin - even before we fall - yet offers new mercies each day. He never tires of us or turns us away.

Instead, he turns despair into hope and self-loathing into self-abandoned joy. And so, the cry "purify my heart" transitions to the triumphant truth, "sin cannot defeat us".

LYRICS

Verse 1

The Lord of all creation

The faithful and the true

You alone are holy

Righteous through and through

How can I approach you

With all the wrong I’ve done?

Through the gates of grace, Lord I come

Chorus

Purify my heart, breathe on me anew

Refine with fire, put me in the crucible

Take away the dross and every hidden sin

Lord have your way in me again

Verse 2

My heart it longs for leading

It seeks to know the way

I hear your Spirit speaking

To trust you and obey

I follow in the footsteps

of Jesus to the cross

For everything but Him, I count as loss

Bridge

Sin cannot defeat us

Cause you gave us your Son

In all of our temptation

The battle can be won

We fix our eyes on Jesus

The resurrected King

Who said that ‘It is finished’

So with confidence we sing
