WERE IT NOT FOR GRACE by LARNELLE HARRIS with lyrics Chords

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