Brandon Lake, Nick Jonas 'The Author' Official Lyric Video

The official lyric video for the Brandon Lake and Nick Jonas song “The Author” has been released. Two of the biggest names in all of music teamed up for this powerful tune about the Lord’s unbelievable love, mercy and grace. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear this moving, tear-jerking song.

Without Jesus Christ’s love and forgiveness, none of us would have a chance. We’d all still be lost, living in our sin and shame, with no hope of a future. For all of eternity, we’d be completely shut off and separated from Him. But thankfully, because of Christ’s death, the blood He shed on the cross and His resurrection, that does not have to be the case.

His amazing, powerful and life-changing forgiveness and love are gifts. None of us could ever do anything to earn and gain them. Humanity, as a whole, is lost, fallen and sin-ridden, having willfully turned away from Him and His commands, but God still offers his grace and mercy to all. Even the one who would be considered the worst of the worst is not too far from God. He can bring about beauty from the ashes and inject life and hope into a seemingly lost situation.

This is precisely what Brandon and Nick sing about in their song, “The Author.” No matter how far we’ve fallen from Him, regardless of what we’ve done, God’s love and forgiveness are available to all. That’s His powerful, unbelievable and totally undeserved grace at work.

“Called me by name again and again and again and again
What grace is this?
Crossed out my shame
Forgives me again and again and again and again”

Even someone who does not typically get emotional might find it difficult to listen to this tune without shedding a tear or two. Brandon and Nick beautifully sing about God’s powerful love, forgiveness and grace – none of which we could ever earn. But yet, He continually shows mercy upon us, as He is faithful and quick to forgive.

Ephesians 2:8 “Because by grace you have salvation through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is given by God.”
