A Maze Of Grace

Avalon's “A Maze Of Grace” is a pop song about the confusion of trying to follow God. It begins with short opposites: I run, I fall; I walk, I sometimes crawl; I give, I take; I bend and yet somehow I break. The singer says the spinning makes him dizzy and he is determined but wonders where he is bound.

What keeps him going is the voice he knows. He has learned to follow the sweet familiar sound of God's voice, and he says the straight and narrow twists and turns, but each day he lives, he learns to follow him. The chorus says that God walks him through a maze of grace. The second verse repeats the pattern with new pairs: I stand, I sway; I reach for you, I push away; I am spent, I am saved; I disobey, yet I behave. In his struggle to break free, the only peace for the puzzle is to follow the sweet familiar lead of God's love. The last lines say he is lost in God and there he is found, gently guided, and every time he turns around it is no surprise to see his life as a maze of grace. The honesty about contradictions is what makes the song relatable, and Avalon's vocal harmonies give it a smooth feel.

His word as a lamp is Psalm 119:105. The sheep who know his voice are in John 10:27, and the struggle to do what is right is Romans 7:18-19.
