lyrics

But For the Grace of God
Here goes nothing but for the grace of God
Some have purpose I fear that I have not
Here’s to those who are safe and sound asleep
Good luck to you and whatever dreams you keep
I’ve got my own

There were times much more than I can count
I was looking where there’s nothing to be found
There were days I was weighed down by sin
I’ve been low but I came back up again
Time and again

So don’t point your finger at me I’m not ashamed
I’ve nothing to my name
So won’t you let me be on my way

Men have gone where others fear to tread
Some have tried and others haven’t yet
Who is to judge and who will sympathize
Some are true and some will be telling lies
All of the time

Some have gained more than worldly things
Some let go and others choose to cling
Some will steal to fulfill their every need
Some die rich some die by their own greed

So don’t point your finger at me I’m not ashamed
I’ve nothing to my name
So won’t you let me be on my way

Here’s to those and the ones that I forgot
And every one of those who know not we all go
But for the grace God
