Grace Unplugged Page #8

Synopsis: Grace Unplugged is an Inspirational movie starring Amanda "AJ" Michalka as 18 year old Christian singer/songwriter, Grace Rose Trey. Beautiful, highly talented and restless, Grace is so far undiscovered outside church. She performs there each Sunday with her gifted father Johnny, the praise music director at Freedom Community Chapel, a small town Alabama church. A former rock star, Johnny Trey charted a Billboard number one single 20 years before. When the hits stopped coming he crash landed hard, a one hit wonder. Johnny found Christ and a new life for his family, far from the Hollywood Hills. One day without warning, Grace leaves for Los Angeles. She has landed a record deal with the help of Johnny's ruthless former manager and producer Frank "Mossy" Mostin. Mossy sees in Grace a potential pop superstar - the next Katy Perry. Cutting off contact with her parents, Grace seems prepared to walk away from her Christian faith and music to achieve her long-suppressed fantasy of Hollywood s

You're not listening.

I'm not singing it!

You sound just like your father,

and it's pathetic.

It's one song.

Larry and I had

an interesting chat this morning.

- What?

- He didn't want me to say anything.

Clearly I need to.

What is it?

I should.

We got it.

You're opening for Renae Taylor.

Yeah. She's going in the

studio next week.

They wanna release your album the same

time as hers, right before the tour.

They're already working

on it in Marketing.

- She picked me?

- She picked you.

So, whatever's going on

inside your head,

let it go.

I'm opening up for Renae Taylor?

Yes. Because you are the

next Renae Taylor.

I need you to go

in that studio and nail this album.

And then go on the photo

shoot with Randall

and be great there, too.

And you know why?

- Why?

- Because this is why you came out here.

This is what happens when

you do have what it takes.

Grace,

this is what it feels like

when you make it.

Hey.

I can't explain it.

Yeah, but...

I mean, you don't

have to do anything.

No, Quentin,

I'm opening up for Renae Taylor.

Okay, this is huge.

I mean, Mossy's right. This is...

It's is why I came out here,

you know?

I should be really happy right now.

I don't...

I don't know what's wrong with me.

Yeah. (CHUCKLES)

I think you do.

No, I don't. That's the problem.

- G race.

- What?

Why do you want this?

Why do you want any of this?

Because if you want

it just for yourself,

there's always gonna

be something missing.

You sound like my dad.

Grace, he's right.

You could sell

millions of albums.

You could be bigger than Renae.

That's not what really matters.

Did you read that book?

Yeah.

(CHUCKLES) Good.

Do you think maybe

it's like he says?

We know it in our heads,

but do we really own it?

Is Jesus Christ really who

you're living for?

'Cause I don't think your problems

are just with your dad.

I think maybe you're fighting God.

I mean,

that was my story.

So open for Renae, don't open

for her. That's not...

That's not what's

important right now.

Just stop running.

Stop running from God.

Make things right with your dad.

And I promise you, you do that,

I'm pretty sure you're gonna find

what you're looking for.

TIM:
And after speaking with her

for some time, I was pleased

to invite her to join

us this morning.

So please let me welcome

back to our family

a very special guest.

(QUIETLY)

Hi. Thank you.

Thank you, Pastor Tim.

Hi.

You probably didn't expect to

see me here this morning.

Most of you know I didn't exactly

leave on the best of terms.

And I know along the way,

I hurt some of you.

And for that, I wanted to ask if you

could please forgive me. Please.

The real issue, it wasn't with you.

It was me. I was the problem.

So this morning

I asked Pastor Tim,

and he said it was fine

if I could play a song for you that I

wrote. My first song. (CHUCKLES)

(TEARFULLY)

And I want to dedicate it to my mom

(CRYING)

and my dad,

who I love so much.

(PLAYING PIANO)

Honestly, it's time for honesty

My heart is on my sleeve

Oh, will you hear me out?

I've got nothing left to give of me

I gave up everything

So there is nothing

left to lose for me now

Could you forgive me somehow?

I chased a million things

Bright lights and empty dreams

Now here I am

Right where I thought

I wanted to be

But I'll trade it all right now

Leave it all and lay it down

To get back to where I belong

Lord, all I've ever

needed was your love

GRACE:
Dear Mossy,

I can't even begin

to thank you for all you've done for me.

I've given this more thought

than you'll ever know,

and I realized you were right,

the apple doesn't fall

too far from the tree.

I hope someday I can explain all my

reasons for doing this, but right now,

I just know I need to go home.

With all my heart,

I wish you the very, very best.

All my love, Grace.

'Cause all I need is waiting

In your arms

A place to hang my heart

Where I am home at last

You're the one true thing I have

I chased a million things

Bright lights and empty dreams

Now here I am

Right where I thought

I wanted to be

But I'd trade it all right now

Leave it all and lay it down

To get back to where I belong

Lord, all I've ever

needed was your love

All I've ever needed

Was your love

(APPLAUSE)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Yeah, I don't know, I mean,

we want something

small and intimate.

You know, something special.

What did you and Lauren do?

For our wedding it was the same.

We wanted something small.

And so it was just our friends and

family, all the people closest to you.

- Not so much pressure, too.

- Exactly.

Oh, hi, guys.

You talking about me?

Always. (LAUGHS)

Are we up?

Yeah, but, uh,

I have a little bit of news.

I just got off the phone with Larry.

Third quarter reports

are in, and, uh,

Sapphire's newest

division is here to stay.

- Oh, my gosh!

- Congratulations.

- Isn't it amazing?

- That's huge, man.

It's your stellar leadership.

It's your amazing singing,

honey.

- Stop.

- Everybody good?

Yeah, we're good.

Well, let's go.

It's gonna be an amazing night.

Thanks, Chris.

- Go get 'em.

- Love you, Rach.

Who said you could

hold my daughter's hand?

- I believe you did, sir.

- Oh, yeah.

So my boss is gonna

be my son-in-law?

- Afraid so.

- One big, happy family.

- I love you, baby. See you onstage, Dad.

- I love you, sweetie.

Go get 'em.

(CROWD CHEERING)

MAN:

We love you, Grace!

Even though I walk

Through the valley

Of the shadow of death

Your perfect love

is casting out fear

And even when I'm caught

In the middle of

the storms of this life

I won't turn back,

I know You are near

'Cause I will fear no evil

For my God is with me

And if my God is with me

Whom then shall I fear?

Oh, no, You never let go

Through the calm

and through the storm

Oh, no, You never let go

Every high and every low

Oh, no, You never let go

Lord, You never let go of me

Yeah

(VOCALIZING)

And I can see a light

That is coming for

the heart that holds on

A glorious light

beyond all compare

And there will be an end

to these troubles

But until that day comes

We'll live to know

You here on the earth

And I will fear no evil

For my God is with me

And if my God is with me

Whom then shall I fear?

BOTH:

Oh, no, You never let go

Through the calm

and through the storm

Oh, no, You never let go

Every high and every low

Oh, no, You never let go

Lord, You never let go of me

Yeah

'Cause I can see a light

that is coming

For the heart that holds on

There will be an end

to these troubles

But until that day comes, oh

Still I will praise You

Lord

Sing it out!

Oh, no, You never let go

AUDIENCE:
Through the calm

and through the storm

Oh, no, You never let go

Every high and every low

Oh, no, You never let go

Lord, You never let go of me

Yeah

(CROWD CHEERING)

Oh, no, You never let go

Through the calm

and through the storm

Oh, no, You never let go

Every high and every low
