Paul Overstreet - There But For The Grace Of God Do I lyrics

rate me

(Paul Overstreet - Taylor Dunn)

There's a man on a corner with a cardboard sign that reads

I will work for food

A woman stands beside him with hungry eyes that plead

Our children are hungry too

Some may say I'm foolish for giving to their cause

I've become a believer that heaven's helped us all.

Oh there but for the grace of God go I

How without compassion can we pass them by

Oh, it could be you it could be me the world has cast aside

There but for the grace of God go I.

When I think about my home late in the evening time

How we've been blessed with much more than we need

Keep a warm fire burning when it's cold outside

We don't have to worry that we might freeze

How can I go to bed at night and sleep so gracefully

If I haven't given something for the least of these.

Oh, there but for the grace of God go I

How without compassion can we pass them by

Oh it could be you and it could be me the world has locked outside

There but for the grace of God go I.

Oh, the time has come for everyone to learn to help another

We could turn this whole wide world around if we only loved each other.

Oh, there but for the grace of God go I

How without compassion can we pass them by...

Oh it could be you and it could be me the world has locked outside

There but for the grace of God go I

There but for the grace of God go I

There but for the grace of God go I

There but for the grace of God

There but for the grace of God go I

There but for the grace of God

There but for the grace of God go I
