There, But For Your Grace, Go I
words and music by Bill Pere
 
Say a prayer for the man who looks to the Heavens
But sees only clouds in a gray, dusty sky
Each time I awake to a new day, I'm thankful
There But For Your Grace Go I...

Say a prayer for the child who's not known the laughter
Bless the tear that the loneliness wrings from his eye
Each time I awake to a new day, I'm thankful
There But For Your Grace Go I...
 
If you think joy in life
Is a pleasure that God hides
Look inside and you'll know where it resides

Say a prayer for the man who looks for the answers
But hears empty echoes of unanswered why's
Each time I awake to a new day, I'm thankful

(optional verse)
Say a prayer for the child who looks at the snowflake
Which melts and becomes just a tear in his eye
Each time I awake to a new day, I'm thankful
There But For Your Grace Go I...
There But For Your Grace Go I...
There But For Your Grace Go I...
