God's Grace

GOD’S GRACE

INTRO — soft piano, distant choir

I was covered before I knew
I was held before I could understand
And looking back over this life of mine...
I can see it now.

It wasn't luck.

It was grace.

VERSE 1 — soft, intimate female lead

When I was just a little girl
I'd close my eyes and pray
“Lord, let me see You somehow
Don't let my faith fade away”

I wanted faith like children have
The kind that doesn't need to know
Just knowing that my Father's there
Wherever I may go

And sometimes in the quiet
I could feel You standing near
A peace I couldn't explain
When nobody else was there

I saw the world with wonder
Before I understood the pain
And somehow through the years
That little faith remained

PRE-CHORUS — building

I didn't always hear Your whisper
I didn't always take Your hand
Sometimes I lost my way
But You still knew where I would stand

And every time the darkness came
You never let it have the final word
Now I can look back and say...

I was protected
Even when I didn't know I was being protected.

CHORUS — soaring lead + gospel choir

LEAD:
It was God's grace
That kept me standing
God's grace
That kept me safe

CHOIR:
God's grace
God's grace

LEAD:
When I couldn't see the danger
You were already making a way
When I didn't know I needed You
You were covering me anyway

CHOIR:
Covering her
Covering her

LEAD:
I may not have understood Your ways
But You never turned away

ALL:
I look at my life
And all I can say...

LEAD:
It was God's grace!

CHOIR:
God's grace!

LEAD:
It was God's grace!

ALL:
That carried me!

[VERSE 2 — rhythmic storytelling, strings begin rising]

There was a day I'll never forget
A sound came rushing through the air
I looked behind me and saw that train
And suddenly I knew it was there

For just a moment time stood still
And I saw my whole life flash
Every face, every memory
Every dream I thought I'd have

I thought that was the moment
My story was gonna end
But somehow I was off those tracks
And breathing once again

I still don't know exactly how
I only know what I can say—

There was a hand I couldn't see
That pulled me out of harm's way.

CHOIR — soft response

Pulled her out...

Made a way...

LEAD:

I should've been where that train was
But somehow I wasn't there.

CHOIR:

He was there!

LEAD:
