If It Wasn't for Grace Songtext
von Mark Farner

Just thinkin′ back on how I used to be
How foolish thoughts invade the mind
So glad those notions ain't inside of me
So glad I left them far behind
I thought I had so many friends, you know
They really showed their face to me
You know I had to turn and let them go
′Cause where they're headed
Lord, I don't want to be

If it wasn′t for grace
I just might be in their place
If it wasn′t for love
The love that only comes
From the Lord above
And for peace
You really set my mind at ease
Yes, for You, Lord, touched my heart
And pulled me through
If it wasn't for grace


Some people ask me what′s come over me
I tell them all the God of love
Only the truth can ever make you free
It only comes from Him above
The unsaved loved ones and my family
They turn to me when times are bad
If they could see, Lord, what my eyes do see
They'd know that Jesus Christ is all that I have

If it wasn′t for grace
I just might be in their place
If it wasn't for love
The love that only comes
From the Lord above
And for peace
You really set my mind at ease
Yes, for You, Lord, touched my heart
And pulled me through
If it wasn′t for grace

I'm livin' out my new life in You, Lord
A life I′ve never known
And when this other life is through
All God′s children are comin' home


If it wasn′t for grace
I just might be in their place
If it wasn't for love
The love that only comes
From the Lord above
And for peace
You really set my mind at ease
Yes, for You, Lord, touched my heart
And pulled me through

If it wasn′t for grace
I just might be in their place
If it wasn't for love
The love that only comes
From the Lord above
And for peace
You really set my mind at ease
Yes, for You, Lord, touched my heart
And pulled me through
If it wasn′t for You, Lord
You touched my heart
And pulled me through
If it wasn't for You, Lord
If it wasn't for grace
