But For The Grace Of God Songtext
von Bill Gaither

The tramp on the street, homeless and weak
Could be I, but for the grace of God
The steel of my soul would have weakened and bent
Had I traveled the highways he′s trod


Oh merciful Father, oh wonderful God
Thy hands have spared me these things
May my heart know compassion as a child
When she holds a bird with a broken wing

Oh, Lord, make me strong, not to boast of my strength
But to lend it to the weak and downtrod
May I always remember things dear to my heart
Are mine to hold only by the grace of God

They're mine to hold only by the grace of God
