But For Grace

So many times of failure yield the pain of expectation

So many times affliction yields the pain of devastation

I am no better or no worse

Bearing the curse of a fallen race.

I am what I am by His merciful hand

We are all the same but for Grace!

What I know of grace I've learned in times like these

Fallen on my face, praying on my knees

When my self righteousness- is the standard by which I measure

All I can see is the test that others fail to my own pleasure!

So many times I criticize- not seeing my hard heart

Then you make me realize and my fortress falls apart!

What I know of Grace I know 'cause you've revealed

Tho I have no case in me perfection is revealed!
