Thimble Thoughts: Were It Not For Grace

Were It Not For Grace

I took this video on the way to Lake Lure the other day. It has absolutely nothing to do with anything except for the song playing in the background. I love this song by the Victorious Valley Girls, Were It Not For Grace. This is just the chorus, but it's my favorite song on this CD. Can you say, "Were it not for grace...."

Here are the words to the whole song:

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 the One who took my place

And ran a course I could not start

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

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.
