[C]
[E] [Am]
[Dm] [C]
[D] [F] [C]
[G] [F] Time [A] measured [C] out my days,
[G] [F] life [C] carried me along.
[G]
[C] In my [F] soul I yearned to [D] follow God, [E] but [Em] knew I'd [Am] never be so strong.
I looked hard at this [Ab] failure to [Fm] learn how heaven [Bb]
[Gm] could be [Eb] gained.
[Gm] [Eb] Just to end [Gm] where [Ab] I began, [Eb] where human [Fm] effort is all [Dm] in vain.
[G]
[C] Worry not [F] for grace, [G]
I can tell [C] you where [Em] [Am] I'd be.
[Em] Wandering down [G] some pointless [Dm] road [F] to nowhere, [Am]
[G] with [C] my salvation [G] up [Am] to me.
I know how [C] [F] that would go.
[G]
The battles I [E] would face, [Gm] [A]
forever [Dm] running, but losing [G] the race.
[F]
Were [G] it not [F] for grace.
[C]
So [G]
here [F] is all [C] my praise, [G]
[F] it's messed with [C] all my heart.
Offered [F] to a friend who took [D] my place, [E] and [Am] ran a course I could not stop.
And when he saw [Ab] in full, just [Fm] how [Bb] much his love [Gm] would cost.
He [Eb] still went the [Ab] final mile between [Gm] me [Fm] and heaven, [Ab] so I would [Dm] not be [G] lost.
Were [C] it not [F] for grace,
[G] I can [C] tell you [Em] where [Am] I'd be.
[G] Wandering down some [Dm] pointless road [F] to nowhere, [G] with my [F] [C] salvation [G] up to [Am] me.
[G] I know how that [F] would go.
The [G] battles I [E] would face, [A]
forever [Dm] running, [F] but losing [G] the race.
[F] [G] Were it [Am] not for grace.
[F] [C]
Forever [Dm] running, [C] [F]
but losing [G] the race.
[F] Were [G] it not for [C] grace.
