God's Grace

GOD’S GRACE

[INTRO — soft piano, intimate female vocal]

When I was just a little girl
I used to close my eyes and pray,
“God, let me always see You
And keep my faith like this someday.”

I didn't know what life would bring,
Or all the roads I'd have to face,
But looking back at every year,
I can see Your hand of grace.

---

VERSE 1 — tender

I haven't always walked the straightest road,
Sometimes I wandered far away,
But somehow You were underneath me
Every time I lost my way.

You gave me a family full of love,
A family that believed and prayed,
And when I couldn't find the strength myself,
Their prayers helped carry me through every day.

CHOIR — softly

Carry her...
Carry her...

LEAD:

I didn't always recognize You,
But You always knew my name.
I thought I was walking by myself,
But You were sheltering me all the same.

---

PRE-CHORUS

How many times did You protect me
That I'll never even know?

How many times did You move something
Before I reached the road?

I called it luck.
I called it chance.

Now I know...

It was Your grace.

---

CHORUS — soaring

LEAD:
God's grace
Was covering me
God's grace
Was carrying me

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 covered me anyway.

CHOIR:
Covered her...
Covered her...

LEAD:
Every breath I'm breathing now
Is a testimony I can say—

ALL:
I shouldn't still be standing...

LEAD:
But I'm standing here today...

ALL:
BY GOD'S GRACE.

VERSE 2 — cinematic storytelling

There was a day my car got stuck
Right there upon those railroad tracks.
Then I looked behind me...

And I saw that train coming fast.

For one second everything went still,
And my whole life flashed before my eyes.
Every person, every memory,
Every dream I thought I'd leave behind.

I thought that was my final breath...

Then somehow...

I was off those tracks.

I don't know how.
I can't explain it.

I only know...

You made a way.
