BY THE GRACE OF GOD

BY THE GRACE OF GOD

It is only by the grace of God
That I am still here today;
So many times I've floundered
And completely lost my way.

When I've been hurt and trouble
Came knocking at my door,
I only had to say a prayer
For peace to come once more.

So many times I thought I'd quit,
And just turn and walk away;
It was only by the grace of God
That I could stand and stay.

When my footsteps took me away
From the path I should have trod,
His hands were there to guide me;
I am still here, by the grace of God.

A simple thanks is not enough
For all He has given me;
So I will listen to His word
For it will set me free.
