Betty's version

Since Betty sang this at church, Daniel died. It's so sad.

Betty sang this a week ago Sunday. She sent me the words since she altered some of the lyrics.

Were It Not For Grace
Time measured out my days
Life carried me along
In my soul I knew an emptiness
That things in life could not fulfill
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'd I be
Tumbling down that Godless road to hell
With my salvation up to me
I know how that would go
The battles I would face
Forever running but losing this race
Were it not for grace

So here is all my praise
Expressed with all my heart
Offered to my Lord who took my place
And ran the race I could not start
And though He knew in full
Just how much His love would cost
He still crossed that great divide between me and heaven
So I would not be lost

Were it not for grace
I can tell you where I'd be
Tumbling down that Godless road to hell
With my salvation up to me
I know how that would go
The battles I would face
Forever running but losing this race
Were it not for grace
Forever running but losing this race
Were it not for grace
