Louise Nelson Poet Ballad

BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD

looking at the state 
of this world surrounding me 
anxiety poverty and despair 
are all I now see

but for the grace of God 
I'd be in the same dire straits 
but for the grace of God 
I'm grateful that I ain't 

take a moment be grateful 
give God all the glory 
take a moment be grateful
God's mercy was afforded to me

but for the grace of God 
I'd be in the same dire straits 
but for the grace of God 
I'm grateful that I ain't

the only things promised in life 
are the love of God
plus His grace and mercy
which I take to heart 
and I'll never forget the actions
of Jesus Christ
the Resurrection which gave me 
an opportunity to have eternal life 

take a moment be grateful 
give God all the glory 
take a moment be grateful 
He's writing my story 

but for the grace of God
I'd be in the same dire straits 
but for the grace of God 
I'm grateful that I ain't 

but for the grace of God 
I'd be in the same dire straits 
but for the grace of God, 
I'm grateful that I ain't
