F C G
[Verse 1]
F C G
Time measured out my days,
F C Csus C
Life carried me along
Fmaj7
In my soul I yearned
Esus4 E7
To follow God…
A7sus4
But knew I'd never
Am7
Be, so, strong.
Ab
I, looked hard at this world,
Bb
To learn how Heaven
Cm7
could be gained.
Ab
Just, to end where I began,
Cm7 Fsus4
Where human effort,
Fm/Eb Gsus4 G7
Is all in vain
[Chorus]
Em Fmaj7 G
Were it not, for grace
C C/B Am7
I can tell you where I'd be:
Wandering down some
Dm7 Gsus4 G7
Pointless road, to nowhere.
F C Am
With my salvation up to me,
F G7
I know how, that, would go
Edim
The battles I would face.
A7 Dm
Forever running,
G
But losing the race
F G Csus4 C (F C G)
Were it not, for grace
[Verse 2]
F C G
So here is all, my praise,
F C C/E Am7
Expressed with, all, my heart
Fmaj7
Offered to the Friend
Esus4 E7
Who took, my place
A7sus4
And ran a course
Am7
I could, not, start
Ab
And when He, saw, in full
Bb
just how much
Cm7
His love would cost,
Ab
He still went, the final mile
Cm7 Fsus4
Between me and Heaven
Fm/Eb Gsus4 G7
So I would not be, lost
[Chorus]
Em Fmaj7 G
Were it not, for grace
C C/B Am7
I can tell you where I'd be:
Wandering down some
Dm7 Gsus4 G7
Pointless road, to nowhere.
F C Am
With my salvation up to me,
F G7
I know how, that, would go
Edim
The battles I would face
A7 Dm
Forever running,
G
But losing the race
F G Csus4 C
Were it not, for grace
[Ending]
A7 Dm
Forever running
G
But losing the race
F G Csus4 C
Were it not, for grace
