Were It Not For Grace

Were It Not For Grace By JC Grejaldo of Bible Baptist Seminary and Institute from Negros Occidental last May 10, 2026 Words by Phil McHugh and music by David Hamilton (1988) Verse Time measured out my days Life carried me along In my soul I yearned to follow God But knew I'd never be so strong I looked hard at this world To learn how heaven could be gained Just to end where I began Where human effort is all in vain Chorus Were it not for grace I can't tell you where I'd be Wandering down some pointless Road to nowhere With my salvation up to me I know how that would go The battles I would face Forever running but losing the race Were it not for grace Verse So here is all my praise Expressed with all my heart Offered to a Friend who took my place And ran a course I could not even start And when He saw in full Just how much His love would cost He still went the final mile Between me and heaven So I would not be lost Chorus Were it not for grace I can't tell you where I'd be Wandering down some pointless Road to nowhere With my salvation up to me I know how that would go The battles I would face Forever running but losing the race Were it not for grace Forever running but losing the race Were it not for grace
