Saving Grace

Saving Grace
Copyright 2012- Susie Whiting

Intro:
Missionaries knocked upon my door
spreading word that pertained to my salvation.
That unless I chose to be saved by grace
hell would be my final destination.

V1:
I thanked them both for giving of their time
said it'd been in another time and place,
that I'd been lifted up and dusted off.
and thanks to God, I'd been saved by Grace.

'Cause

Chorus:
Grace picked me up when on my own I stumbled.
It was through Grace, I found the best in me.
I saw my worth, although I was not perfect.
Through my saving Grace, I'll be the best that I can be.

V2:
I had looked for happiness in the bottom of a bottle.
My reflection showed only hollow eyes.
A face stared back, with a faint smile of deception.
I was a man, I no longer recognized.

Then:

Chorus:
Grace picked me up when on my own I stumbled.
It was through Grace, I found the best in me.
I saw my worth, although I was not perfect.
Through my saving Grace, I'll be the best that I can be.

V3:
It was through Grace, I hear my children's laughter.
It was through Grace, I finally found my life.
In the arms of Grace, I know i've found my heaven.
She gave me all, when Grace became my wife

Chorus:
Grace picked me up when on my own I stumbled.
It was through Grace, I found the best in me.
I saw my worth, although I was not perfect.
Through my saving Grace, I'll be the best that I can be.
