Lyrics

He was close enough to touch Him
Right there by His side
Full of doubts and reservations
He cursed the Lord and died
A thief who didn't recognize
That right before his face
Hanging there at Calvary
How close he came to grace
He just missed his chance
To hold forever in his hand
It slipped right through his fingers
Like he was holding sand
He didn't see forgiveness
When he met Him face to face
Little did he realize
How close he came to grace
A young ruler asked the Master
Help to find eternal life
His comforts and great riches
Couldn't show him wrong from right
Jesus said, "Sell your possessions
Go give everything away"
But he turned his back not knowing
How close he came to grace
He just missed his chance
To hold forever in his hand
It slipped right through his fingers
Like he was holding sand
He didn't see forgiveness
When he met Him face to face
Little did he realize
How close he came to grace
There's no promise of tomorrow
Salvation's yours today
Give your heart to Jesus
Before it is too late
Friend, don't miss your chance
To hold forever in your hand
It can slip right through your fingers
Like you were holding sand
You're looking at forgiveness
When you meet Him face to face
I sure hope you realize
How close you are to grace
It's amazing when you realize
How close you are to grace
