But for grace, where would I be
Just a ship lost on the ocean
Like a bird with broken wings
I'd have no place, but for grace
But for grace, could I be saved
Can one dead by works be pardoned
Lift himself out of the grave
There'd be no way, but for grace
But for grace, I'd go astray
Often wandering from my shepherd
Even on my best of days
I'd fall away, but for grace
But for grace, how could I stand
All this trials overcome me
Under this world's heavy hand
I'd surely break, but for grace
But for grace, could I get home
See that city He's preparing
Join the saints around the throne
There's be no place, but for grace
I'm just a sinner on my own
Never see His face, but for grace
