Were it Not for Grace

Once in awhile I come across a song that jumps to the top of my personal best hits "chart" due to great words or magnetic melody or both. My new chart topper for the moment is "Were It Not for Grace." I've only heard it a few times, but the melody is stuck in my head and I've been either humming it or belting it out at odd moments of the day. If you get a chance, try to get a copy. I know it's on a Life Action CD (which I don't have) and a Sounding Joy CD (which I do have).

Here are a couple verses:

Were it not for grace, I can tell you where I'd be -
Wand'ring 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 the course I couldn't even 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.
