Fade To Grey Lyrics

Lyric discussion by StennethFlushpool 

Cover art for Fade To Grey lyrics by Jars of Clay

I agree with oviazcan, it is clearly telling of an encounter with God. I think it's about being in despair and confusion and then discovering Jesus' passionate longing for us ('then I see you there with your arms open wide and you try to embrace me').

The lyrics are very powerful, and express beautifully the intense experience when you are close to despair and then suddenly see God's loving presence very clearly. I find those moments hard to describe, but the chorus does it very well.

One of my favorite songs, text and music fit together nicely.
