There but for the Grace Lyrics

[1] I met a stranger on a sidewalk…he was holding out his hand…
He said, “Buddy, could you help me?” I said, “I’ll do the best I can.”
Then I reached down in my pocket…just to see what I could find…
Then he said, “Just help me cross the street, you see I’m blind…”

[CHO: A] AND I THOUGHT, “THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD GO I…”
I COULD BE THE ONE WITH BLINDED EYES…
BUT IT WASN’T MEANT TO BE…HE HAD A DIFFERENT PLAN FOR ME…
THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD GO I…

[2] Then my mind went back to Calvary…saw Him crawling up the hill…
I heard him praying in the garden…saying “Father not my will…”
Then I felt his pain and suffering…as they nailed his feet and hands..
And I saw the perfect Lamb of God…reaching out for fallen man…

[CHO: B] AND I SAID, “THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD GO I…”
I COULD BE THE ONE WITH BLINDED EYES…
BUT IT WASN’T MEANT TO BE…HE HAD SALVATION PLANNED FOR ME…
THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD GO I…

[TAG] There….[sustain] but for the Grace of God go I….
