Were It Not For Grace Lyrics - First Love - Larnelle Harris

Time measured out my days, life carried me along 

In my soul I yearned to follow God but knew I'd never be so strong 

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 I'd be 

Wandering down some pointless road to nowhere 

With my salvation up to me, I know how that would go 

The battles I would face forever running but losing the race 

Were it not for grace 

So here is all my praise expressed with all my heart 

Offered to the Friend who took my place and ran a course I could not start 

And when He saw in full just how much His love would cost 

He still went the final mile between me and Heaven so I would not be lost 

Were it not for grace, I can tell you where I'd be 

Wandering down some pointless road to nowhere 

With my salvation up to me and I know how that would go 

The battles I would face forever running but losing the race 

Were it not for grace 

Forever running but losing this race 

Were it not for grace
