This song is a song about the grace of God and how it has helped many people in their lives.

Time measured out my days
Life carried me along
In my soul I yearned to follow God
But knew 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
Were it not for grace
I can tell you where I'd be
Wandering down some pointless
Road to nowhere
With my salvation up to me
I know how that would go
The battles 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
Were it not for grace
I can tell you where I'd be
Wandering down some pointless
Road to nowhere
With my salvation up to me
And I know how that would go
The battles I would face
Forever running but losing the race
Were it not for grace
Forever running but losing the race
Were it not for grace
