Perry Lahaie - Crashed Into Grace (CCM)


Perry Lahaie's song 'Crashed Into Grace' is a powerful testimony of God's amazing grace and the transformational power of Jesus Christ. The song is a reminder that no matter how far we may have strayed from God, He is always waiting with open arms to welcome us back into His loving embrace.

The background of the song reveals Perry's personal experience of shame and how it almost ruined his life. As a teenager, he struggled with pursuing his own selfish desires and was wounded deeply by shame. He believed that what he had done was who he was and who he would always be. Despite having started following Jesus at the age of 10 and experiencing an amazing filling of the Holy Spirit at 16, the wounds of shame continued to poison him.

One night while playing pick-up hoops at the Rec Center in Cheboygan, MI, Perry suffered a devastating injury when he landed on someone's foot while going for a rebound. He was in excruciating pain, and his friends had to carry him home and lay him on the couch. It was then that he asked his mother to pray for him.

As his mother prayed, Perry felt a warmth in his ankle, and the pain disappeared instantly. He was amazed that Jesus would heal him, knowing every dark secret of his life. This experience was his 'crash into grace,' where Jesus collided with him as he was running fast in his own direction. The collision blew him apart, but Jesus began putting him back together, making him a new creation.

Perry Lahaie - Crashed Into GraceFor many years, Perry wanted to write a song about this experience, and he finally did so in 2022. The lyrics of the song capture the essence of what happened to him and what it means to experience God's grace.

The song begins with Perry describing how he was running hard, running fast, and running in the night. He was out of control, out of his mind, and completely blind. He was loving sin and hating it at the same time and was surely the Devil's slave. He was way out of his lane when he saw Jesus' face, and he knew it was too late.

The chorus of the song captures the essence of the experience that Perry had. He crashed into grace, and it blew him away. It was like a life-wrecking wave that ended his old life, but he was raised to new life from death. The crash and the cry that he experienced were the end of his old life, but they were the beginning of a new life in Christ.

The second verse of the song describes how Jesus came running hard, running fast, and running right at Perry. He was like a river, a flood, a furious love, like a raging sea. Perry was such a wicked mess, but Jesus came to save him. He was right in the way, shouting Perry's name, and Perry saw Jesus' shining face.

The bridge of the song captures the heart of the gospel message. Jesus brought Perry back to life, and He was kneeling by his side. Perry saw the passion in Jesus' eyes and the scars in His hands. Jesus said to Perry, 'Come and follow me. I've loved you from eternity, and I'm filling you now to heal, restore, and cleanse.'

The final chorus of the song is a powerful reminder that Perry's crash into grace was the most beautiful face he had ever seen. Jesus bore the filth of his shame, and He was pierced with a spear for Perry's sake. But Jesus trampled the grave and raised Perry to new life.

'Crashed Into Grace' is a beautiful and powerful song that captures the essence of God's amazing grace. Perry Lahaie's personal testimony of shame, healing, and transformation is an inspiration to all who listen.

"If Jesus Danced" by Cameron Pruitt: Making Room for Laughter in Your Walk with God

Does your faith leave room for laughter? Can you imagine Jesus kicking off His sandals, dancing to a rhythm only He can hear? Strange thought? Maybe, but Cameron Pruitt’s song “If Jesus Danced” asks exactly that: “Sometimes I wonder if Jesus danced.” It’s a question worth pondering. Most of us picture Jesus as solemn, serious, carrying the weight of the world. But rarely do we picture Him laughing so hard that “the room relaxed.” Cameron insists this joy was real. Jesus wasn’t just a teacher of hard truths. He was, as Cameron sings, “the life of the party, radiant friend.” He warmed hearts. He had humor. People wanted to be near Him, not because He demanded reverence, but because His presence felt like sunshine. This connects to Psalm 16:11: “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Joy isn’t a distraction from faith. Joy is the destination. God doesn’t just tolerate your happiness; He included j...

"What A Savior" by Will & Jacinta Ellis and Crossing Life Worship: Never Growing Numb to Grace

Have you ever grown numb to a miracle?  “What A Savior” by Will & Jacinta Ellis and Crossing Life Worship began as a chorus in a co-write, before it took on a life of its own. Will & Jacinta wanted something rich and almost hymn-like, a bold declaration of who Jesus is — not a tired restatement, but a fresh look. They never wanted to grow “used to” what Jesus accomplished, so they wrote about holding on to Him in every season, regardless of whether it’s calm or chaotic.  The opening lines start with the redemption through Jesus’ blood: “The precious fount, that cleansing flow, the Son of God poured out for all.” That’s the blood that Jesus spilled for you. The song moves from the cleansing through His blood to the result: “The debt I owed and all sin’s claims were buried with You in the grave.” Your debt. Buried. Gone.  Here’s where it gets even more personal. Romans 5:8 says, “God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” ...

"He Knew" by Krystal Dawn Land: The Cost Christ Chose Before the Cradle

Jesus knew everything, and He came anyway! Let’s go back to the birth of Jesus, a newborn lying in the manger, part of a larger plan and fully aware of where His path would end before He came to earth. Krystal Dawn Land’s song, “He Knew”, opens with a question that stops you cold, especially if you consider how you would respond: “What if He knew? What if He saw? What if He knew the pain He’d face to give it all?” This isn’t idle speculation. The song walks through the full arc of Jesus’ story, “from the cradle to the cross” , and insists that nothing that happened caught Him off guard. He saw the betrayal coming. He saw the doubt, the walking away, “some would not believe, some would walk away.” And still, as Krystal sings, “He did… He knew all along. He still came… to right every wrong.” That kind of foreknowledge changes how we read Isaiah 53:3–5, where the prophet describes the Messiah as “despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows.” Jesus wasn’t ambushed by suffering. He wal...
