There But For the Grace of God

There but for the grace of God go I, and I and I

There but for the grace of God go I

There's a woman I see each day, waiting at the corner

Standing with her paper cup trying to feed her son and daughter

She'll be there seven days a week, if she's able

Oh, it's so hard to put food on the table

Is this the way life should be

Could this happen to you or me

Without the grace of God you see

We could be living in poverty

That haunted face I see of a child on TV

Could just as well have been me, thank God life's been easy

Just remember those in need, here or in another land

We must give what we can to our fellow man

You never know what life will bring

Ceaseless winter or blessed spring

Will we cry or will we sing

Does the bell toll or does it ring

Live with hope or with despair

Is life foul or is it fair

Do people smile or do they stare

Constant reminders are everywhere

There but for the grace of God go I, and I and I

There but for the grace of God go I

There but for the grace of God go I, and I and I

There but for the grace of God go I
