What is it? What does the word grace mean? Is it just a description of the way someone moves, or just a prayer giving thanks for a meal? Or is it something bigger than that? Is it just forgiveness? Is it a human action or is there some other meaning?
On their album all that you can't leave behind U2 have a track that asks just those sort of questions. Is grace just the name of a girl or is it an idea that could change the world? It is a brooding song that poses lots of questions but is it a song about a girl or about a bigger reality.
When they sing of how grace makes beauty out of ugly things, or finds goodness in everything is it just an individual or grace personified that they are singing about.
And what difference would grace at work make to the world in which we live?
