Larnelle Harris Album: First Love Track: Were It Not For Grace
Were It Not For Grace Lyrics
Time measured out my days Life carried me along In my soul I yearned to follow God But know I'd never be so strong I looked hard at this world To learn how heaven could be gained Just to end where I began Where human effort is all in vain
Chorus: Were it not for grace I can tell you where I'd be Wandering down some pointless road to nowhere With my salvation up O me I know how that would go The battle I would face Forever running but losing the race Were it not for grace
So here is all my praise Expressed with all my heart Offered to a friend who took my place And ran a course I could not start And when He saw in full Just how much His love would cost He still went the final mile between me and heaven So I would not be lost
Repeat Chorus
Forever running but losing the race Were it not for grace
