Only by Your Grace Chords by Sevin

[Fm] _ Oh yeah, _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ only by your [Ab] grace
Never thought I'd last this long or be half this strong
Or [Fm] I'd come so far, I'd [G] even have this fall
But [Eb] I'm here, and [Cm] _ I know it's only by your grace
Never [Fm] thought I'd take the vow to be named your child
Walk this out [Cm] enough to make you proud
But I'm here, and I know it's only by your grace
[Fm] Yeah, [G] the wages of sin is destruction
But your gift is [Fm] eternal life
We craving for [Cm] sin when we bustin'
And then going in on this murder hype
Serving the bird of flight, turn it right
Fresh off of the burn of the burger white
We immerse from the dirt like a worm at night
And these vermin is terminal [Fm] for the strife
Raised in the craziness [Cm] of the 80s
From the era of bangin' and crack [Fm] babies
The murderous mids of the city
Can sack [Cm] lace, we can brace me
For living like an atheist, yeah
I slept in the suburbs, but hung in the ghetto
Was ready to bust, so I would run with the metal
The rod never breaks, it doesn't come with a pedal
Had a problem with faith, so I was [Fm] one with the devil
Never did I really envision that you would listen to my prayers
And my life would change
You put me out of jail, then you put me out of [Cm] hell
I really wasn't ready for nothing quite this strange
I'm from where you get boned if you violate
And the grave is the only known quiet place
Only you know the moment that I have faced
That's why I say it only [Fm] was quite a grace
Never thought I'd last this long or be half this strong
Or I'd come [G] so far, I'd even have this fall
[Eb] But I'm here, and [Cm] _ I know it's only by your grace
Never [Fm] thought I'd take the vow to be a danger child
[Cm] Or I'd walk this out enough to make you proud
But I'm here, _ and I know it's only by your grace
By your grace
[Fm] I was a BK, well like [Cm] 3K
Saving my money for a Mac [Fm]-10
On the [G] TV for like three [Cm] days
Seeing 3Ks killing black men
And I felt nothing, that's real hate
Put the fork in you for that real plate
I took God's wrath on a real date
And blew candles [G] out for that real cake
And that's real fate
Raised in the era where they know Goddy
[Fm] Gateshells in that damn ground
We plant [Cm] death and then grow shoddies
Devil told me I was squared up
Cause I blamed that and caught nobody
Big Sam told me you were real one
Cause you the only one that caught nobody
That's real [Fm] talk there
Love rains and that's a real walk there
[Cm] Christ up to my life up
And that's real salt there
Right chest to my mic up
And let's be clear
It's your grace cause I know that I shouldn't be here
[Fm] Never thought I'd last this long or be half this strong
Or I'd come so far, [Cm] I'd even have this fall
But I'm here
And I know it's only by your grace
[Fm] Never thought I'd take the vow to be [G] named your child
Or I'd walk this [Cm] out enough to make you [Eb] proud
But I'm here
And I know it's only by your grace [Fm] Oh [G] yeah
_ [Fm] Said I [Bb] never thought [Cm] I'd come this far
_ _ Oh yeah
[Ab] _ [Eb] _
[Fm] _ _ _ [Cm] [Fm] Named your child
And I did [Eb] _
the part enough to make you proud
And I know it's only by your grace
