Verse 1:
Time measured out my days – life carried me along—
In my heart I yearned to follow God,
But knew I’d never be so strong.
I looked around the world and surely Heaven cannot be gained.
People working to attain,
But human effort is all in vain.
Chorus:
Were it not for grace I can tell you where I’d be:
Wandering down some lonely road to nowhere with my salvation up to me.
I know how that would go – the battles I would face—
Forever running, but losing the race...
Were it not for grace.
Verse 2:
So here is all my praise – expressed with all my heart!
Offered to the Lord Who took my place
And ran the race I could not start.
And though He knew in full just how much His love would cost
He still walked that final mile to Calvary’s cross
So I would not be lost.
Chorus:
Were it not for grace I can tell you where I’d be:
Wandering down some lonely road to nowhere with my salvation up to me.
I know how that would go – the battles I would face—
Forever running, but losing the race...
Were it not for grace—
Forever running, but losing the race...
Were it not for grace.

Wonderful blog! I know of a blog where a lady posts her own music to dowload, too. Perhaps one day the Lord will have someone (or you) put your music out there to listen to as well!
ReplyDeleteI love your poem, too! Keep shining!
This is beautiful! I am a lover of music myself; but somehow poetry escapes me. I love others' though.
ReplyDeleteI would encourage you to put some kind of a "Copyright" notice on the sidebar.
On the poems that I did write I post that they are copywrited on the individual post.
ReplyDeleteI did not write this song.
It is a very beautiful and very powerful song that honors the Lord.
Thank you for your kind words and the idea about the copywrite button - I will look into that! :)
~ God Bless!
