Were It Not for Grace

Time measured out my days Life carried me along In my soul I yearned to follow God But knew Id 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 Id 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 this 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 in full Just how much His 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 Id 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 this race Were it not for grace Forever running but losing this race Were it not for grace
