Grace

She's a born again believer Her grandpa preached the Word Her momma slaves every Saturday night On a potluck Sunday bird She wore down my excuses Inviting me to church Those eyes were blue as Jordan's shore I had a wilderness of thirst She says love's a gift from Heaven For the poor and down-trod No matter what I've been before I'll find grace in the eyes of God But the thing she don't yet realize Is the beauty that turned my face On the blessed day that I met her I found God in the eyes of Grace Well, the pews are hard and wooden And the sermon, monotone But there ain't a Lord's Day morning You're gonna find me at home Yeah, she's right there beside me And her momma's on the other side And I'm praising the Lord for amazing Grace Man, that ain't no lie She says love's a gift from Heaven For the poor and down-trod No matter what I've been before I'll find grace in the eyes of God But the thing she don't yet realize Is the beauty that turned my face On the blessed day that I met her I found God in the eyes of Grace It's a hard row to be plowing Between a woman and the Lord Most days it seems like I'm lying to both Though I haven't said a word One day I hope she'll see me As more than a soul to save Until that day I'll just carry on And pray to God to give me Grace She says love's a gift from Heaven For the poor and down-trod No matter what I've been before I'll find grace in the eyes of God But the thing she don't yet realize Is the beauty that turned my face On the blessed day that I met her I found God in the eyes of Grace One day I hope she'll realize The beauty that turned my face On the blessed day that I met her I found God in the eyes of Grace
