Larry Orrell Lyrics
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, Ill 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 Im 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 WASNT 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 WASNT 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
