Except For Grace

You've lost it all your dignity and pride

A sinking soul

Swimming in the tears you've cried

Alone and hopeless without a word to say

'Cause guilt has taken it all away

Except for grace and your faith

And knowing that God's love

Will forgive mistakes

There's nothing that can clear

Your painful past bear your bitter pain

Or could ever take your place

Except for grace we've all stood

Right where you're at facing the shame

Of failures and regrets leaving us empty

Broken and afraid to dream

'Cause sin has stripped us clean

Of everything

Except for grace and our faith

And knowing that God's love

Will forgive mistakes

There's nothing that can clear

Our painful past bear our bitter pain

Or could ever take our place

Except for grace

The price is much too high

For us to ever pay we could try forever

And find no other way

Except for grace and our faith

And knowing that God's love

Will forgive mistakes

There's nothing that can clear

Our painful past bear our bitter pain

Or could ever take our place

Nothing else could take our place

Except for grace except for grace
