about

We don't realize at times how lucky we are but there are always reminders and we should heed them

lyrics

There But For The Grace of God

Chorus:
There but for the grace of God go I, and I and I
There but for the grace of God go I

There’s a woman I see each day, waiting at the corner
Standing with her paper cup trying to feed her son and daughter
She’ll be there seven days a week, if she’s able
Oh, it’s so hard to put food on the table

Bridge:
Is this the way life should be
Could this happen to you or me
Without the grace of God you see
We could be living in poverty

Chorus

That haunted face I see of a child on TV
Could just as well have been me, thank God life’s been easy
Just remember those in need, here or in another land
We must give what we can to our fellow man

Double Bridge:
You never know what life will bring
Ceaseless winter or blessed spring
Will we cry or will we sing
Does the bell toll or does it ring
Live with hope or with despair
Is life foul or is it fair
Do people smile or do they stare
Constant reminders are everywhere

Chorus (out)
