In my mind this song is talking about how sometimes it's hard for us to accept God's grace and forgiveness. We can believe the lie that we have to earn this grace or deserve it in order to be innocent again. But real grace is not grace if it is earned or deserved. It cannot be earned and it is not deserved. The lyrics tells of a choice -- do we choose to accept the grace that God gave us through Jesus Christ... the grace that covers ALL of our imperfections? Or do we go and try to earn it ourselves? We are innocent again in God's eyes when He sees us through the blood of Christ.
I also love the lyric "Grace is high and low"
To me that means that the grace God gives us is completely valid in all our situations and covers all our sins. His grace is there in our ups and in our downs. All the time, for anything.
