Grace Definition from Social Science Dictionaries & Glossaries
An essential virtue not necessarily of knighthood, but of nobility. Remember that in the Middle Ages the question of nobility was two-fold; on one hand a man had to be born into nobility, because people believed that there was a strong heredity component to human behavior. Certain virtues were expected of members of the nobility or the aristocracy because they were different from the lesser folk. On of the virtues expected was grace, the quality that combined tact, courtesy, good judgment,and respect for others into a single ‘graceful’ nature that was only possible with a mature, virtuous soul.

"Grace / Ride The Storm" is the fourth and final single released from Blue band-member Simon Webbe's second solo album, Grace. Although Ride The Storm only features on the SEA Special Edition of Grace, the song served as the official theme from the soundtrack to the 2007 sci-fi film, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. The double A-side peaked at #36 on the UK Singles Chart. The single was not released in Europe - instead, Seventeen, another track from Grace, was released. Music videos for both tracks were filmed, Grace featuring Webbe performing on a high-rise building on a council estate, and Ride The Storm featuring clips of the Fantastic Four film intertwinned with clips of Webbe performing in a superhero-style outfit.

Grace Definition from Religion & Spirituality Dictionaries & Glossaries
(1.) Of form or person (Prov. 1:9; 3:22; Ps. 45:2). (2.) Favour, kindness, friendship (Gen. 6:8; 18:3; 19:19; 2 Tim. 1:9). (3.) God's forgiving mercy (Rom. 11:6; Eph. 2:5). (4.) The gospel as distinguished from the law (John 1:17; Rom. 6:14; 1 Pet. 5:12). (5.) Gifts freely bestowed by God; as miracles, prophecy, tongues (Rom. 15:15; 1 Cor. 15:10; Eph. 3:8). (6.) Christian virtues (2 Cor. 8:7; 2 Pet. 3:18). (7.) The glory hereafter to be revealed (1 Pet. 1:13).
The Scripture speaks (1) of the election of individuals to office or to honour and privilege, e.g., Abraham, Jacob, Saul, David, Solomon, were all chosen by God for the positions they held; so also were the apostles. (2) There is also an election of nations to special privileges, e.g., the Hebrews (Deut. 7:6; Rom. 9:4). (3) But in addition there is an election of individuals to eternal life (2 Thess. 2:13; Eph. 1:4; 1 Pet. 1:2; John 13:18). The ground of this election to salvation is the good pleasure of God (Eph. 1:5, 11; Matt. 11:25, 26; John 15:16, 19). God claims the right so to do (Rom. 9:16, 21). It is not conditioned on faith or repentance, but is of soverign grace (Rom. 11:4-6; Eph. 1:3-6). All that pertain to salvation, the means (Eph. 2:8; 2 Thess. 2:13) as well as the end, are of God (Acts 5:31; 2 Tim. 2:25; 1 Cor. 1:30; Eph. 2:5, 10). Faith and repentance and all other graces are the exercises of a regenerated soul; and regeneration is God's work, a "new creature." Men are elected "to salvation," "to the adoption of sons," "to be holy and without blame before him in love" (2 Thess. 2:13; Gal. 4:4, 5; Eph. 1:4). The ultimate end of election is the praise of God's grace (Eph. 1:6, 12). (See PREDESTINATION.)
an expression not used in Scripture, but employed (1) to denote those institutions ordained by God to be the ordinary channels of grace to the souls of men. These are the Word, Sacraments, and Prayer. (2.) But in popular language the expression is used in a wider sense to denote those exercises in which we engage for the purpose of obtaining spiritual blessing; as hearing the gospel, reading the Word, meditation, self-examination, Christian conversation, etc.
