Grace In A Message
Verse 1
Every chat you start is a seed of something new
If you vanish without reason, you leave them with a bruise
It may feel small to you, just another match to manage
But to someone else, it's a memory tangled in damage
Chorus
Bring grace in the message, not silence in disguise
Be honest, be kind—let truth be your guide
Grace in the message means hearts don’t collide
Speak with integrity—let empathy reside
Verse 2
Breadcrumbs feel light at first—a wink, a text, a tease
But they leave someone waiting in a loop of unease
It’s ripple damage masked as casual friend requests
Better to be real than feed a heart with restless tests
Chorus
Bring grace in the message, not silence in disguise
Be honest, be kind—let truth be your guide
Grace in the message means hearts don’t collide
Speak with integrity—let empathy reside
Verse 3
To date with intention is to honor human worth
To affirm someone’s value before they even show their worth
We can rise above swipe culture by speaking kindly and true
Grace in our messages can change someone’s view
Bridge
If silence drips between you, be bold and speak your mind
Honesty wrapped in kindness is the gift we leave behind
Chorus (final)
Bring grace in the message, not silence in disguise
Be honest, be kind—let truth be your guide
Grace in the message means hearts don’t collide
Speak with integrity—let empathy reside
