Were It Not For Grace
Time measured out my days,
Life carried me along
In my soul I yearned to follow God
But knew I’d never be so strong
I looked hard at this world
To learn how Heaven could be gained
Just to end where I began, where human effort is all in vain
Were it not for grace,
I can tell you where I’d be
Wandering down some pointless road to nowhere
With my salvation up to me,
I know how that would go
The battles I would face
Forever running but losing the race
Were it not for grace
So here is all my praise
Expressed with all my heart
Offered to the Friend who took my place
And ran a course I could not start
And when He saw
Just how much His love would cost
He still went the final mile
Between me and Heaven so I would not be lost
Were it not for grace,
I can tell you where I’d be
Wandering down some pointless road to nowhere
With my salvation up to me
And I know how that would go
The battles I would face
Forever running but losing the race
Were it not for grace
Forever running but losing this race
Were it not for grace
