    Story Behind the Song
    State of Grace came/comes from the deepest heart of hearts, it came out singing...people see/think of the earth as a solid place, but it really is "a-rockin' and a-rollin' around...

    Lyrics
    Jeremiah Meek would hardly ever speak to you
    Unless he already knew you have it in your heart to ask
    And this is what he'd say, "Although the future may look bleak to you,
    It will change in the wink, change in the wink of an eye
    If you're up to the task."

    What is facing you and me is a once in a lifetime choice
    Don't let those devils of deepest doubt blind you to all there is to see
    Because there's a place in you where you can surely hear a truthful voice
    Won't you let it speak to you, in your heart, directly from eternity

    Listen:
    This whole world is a-shakin' itself, it's a-rockin' and a-rollin' around
    This whole world is a-shakin' itself, it's a-rockin' and a-rollin' around
    This whole world is a-shakin' itself, it's a-rockin' and a-rollin' around
    Gonna knock our china right off of our shelf
    Better find something better than solid ground

    I'm only here to tell you there's a promise that's been made
    It's a promise that cannot ever be broken
    It's been true before fate and fortune were even weighed
    And the very first word - have you heard it? was ever spoken

    If you are wondering, who really is the returning ONE?
    Since the most ancient of days we've been waiting for Glory's child
    Yet, the work of the ages is certainly not done
    Until each and every soul has become completely reconciled

    That's right!
    This whole world is a-shakin' itself, it's a-rockin' and a-rollin' around
    This whole world is a-shakin' itself, it's a-rockin' and a-rollin' around
    This whole world is a-shakin' itself, it's a-rockin' and a-rollin' around
    Gonna knock our china right off of our shelf
    Better find something better than solid ground

    Let the Love within become your guide as the angry furies rage
    Those towers that darkness build got to fall, you see
    We can seek refuge in hallowed words, upon a sacred page
    But even golden letters may, even golden letters may become idolatry

    Don't you even worry about paper security
    Lately that's growing so razor thin
    It really is the same as ashes and dust to me
    So, when you find yourself, yes, when you find yourself
    Living in a state of grace...
    Just grin
