Grace in the Shadows: Summer 1993

O Lord, you know I’m barely hanging on,
    as I wait for your grace in the shadows –

I’m sorry for the careless things I’ve done
    O Lord, you know I’m barely hanging on...
Save me from this winding road I’m on –
    such a long way from the straight and narrow 

O Lord, you know I’m barely hanging on...
    as I wait for your grace in the shadows
