Grace Of God Lyrics

Some folks always get a rough ride,
Seem to end up on the wrong side,
A constant battle just to survive
On any given day.

I watched a mother on my TV,
Hungry children that she can't feed.
Still I've got everything that I need,
And that just don't seem right,
That I sleep safe tonight.

There's got to be some rhyme or reason why
We turn away and we close our eyes.
If I could find some way that we could justify
all of this suffering -
There but for the Grace Of God go I.

Mother Earth is down on her knees;
Poison rivers run to dead seas;
Cities eating up the green fields -
We never question why.
How truth turns into lies!

There's got to be some rhyme or reason why
We turn away and we close our eyes.
If I could find some way that we could justify
all of this suffering -
There but for the Grace Of God go I.

Sometimes it''s hard to believe
The truth that you can't even see,
But faith holds the hope for the world
And I know, I know

There's got to be some rhyme or reason why
We turn away and we close our eyes.
If I could find some way that we could justify
all of this suffering -
There but for the Grace Of God go I.

When I'm thinking it's a bad day,
Feels like nothing's going my way,
I pass a wreck out on the freeway
And I pray that they survived.
There but for the Grace Of God go I.
