Gospel artist D’Israel releases his latest single titled “Mysterious Grace”.
“Mysterious Grace” is a song inspired by 1 Peter 1: 10-12 and 1 Corinthians 2: 7-10. One could argue that it is a hybrid of Contemporary Christian Music and Contemporary Gospel Music.
It blends the instrumental arrangement/feel of CCM music with the vocal arrangement/feel that is often identified with gospel music. It is a groovy somewhat mid-tempo song with a very catchy chorus.
The bridge of the song is equally powerful, and it leaves you wishing it never ended. Mysterious Grace is overall a song that would be keenly felt by the listeners lyrically and musically.

VERSE 1:
The prophets foretold it
And searched earnestly for it
Yet they did not know how
Or when it would all begin

But here and now it is revealed
To every heart who will believe
Oh so mysterious is the grace that saved us
So great is the wonder of your grace

The grace that saved us
What a wonder, what a wonder

It’s such a wonder even angels are amazed
