Grace

Oh, oh yeah

Oh, oh yeah

Thank God for his grace for the human race

Sin without a trace cause on the cross he took our place

So thank him for grace

Thank him for grace

Thank him for grace

Oh, oh yeah

I remember back then it seems like ages

Way back when I was going through stages

God was not my friend, I was breaking out cages

Living in sin, I was turning life's pages

Living the trend, I was paying life's wages

Again and again, you know what one engages

Those things that offends and not God enrages

I didn't depend on stories told by sages

Going out and in of really strange places

Like a pig in a pin that left dirt traces

Didn't have a garbage bin for my disgraces

Drank a lot of gin so that I could face this

The places I've been were really baseless

Like skinheads in Berlin are really racist

You know it's hard to grin when you're stuck between spaces

Just like my feet skin tied up in shoelaces

Thank God for his grace for the human race

Sin without a trace cause on the cross he took our place

So thank him for grace

Thank him for grace

Thank him for grace

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Yeah, when I look back, I should've been dead

But God cut me slack and kept me instead

Didn't have a heart attack from the food I was fed

Or those cops dressed in black didn't pump me with lead

When they had me jacked, my hands and feet were spread

This is one hard fact, my blood should've been shed

Cause usually I pack my gun in my threads

But like an old plaque, it was under my bed

Or the time I was sacked from the job that I had

I wanted to sell crack, feeling oh so sad

But God put me on track, so my homeland I fled

This is how you react when you have no bread

Just like the NASDAQ with numbers in the red

I felt real whack, my future I did dread

But just like lack, I'll make you shine, God said
