It`s not given because you deserve it
it`s given by grace
It`s not given because you deserve it
it`s given by grace
I can`t believe how close it was
as close as it gets
New days promise newer wonders
like a laugh, a smile, a frown
Then comes a day like any other
when the world comes crashing down
I saw you go...how could I know
if this would be the last
time that we`d ever be
together, you and me?
It`s not given because we deserve it
it`s given by grace
It`s not given because we deserve it
it`s given by grace
Though all too brief the hours we`d shared
had redrawn my life
In this high stakes world of give and take
couldn`t you be left alone
to learn from life`s many small mistakes
to discover on your own?
I couldn`t bear just standing there
You were drifting out of reach
Then your eyes opened up to mine
a blessing and a sign
Not given because I deserved it
but given by grace
Chance or design, what`s the reason?
I wouldn`t know where to begin
Faith is a small consolation
I look for a light from within
It`s not given because you deserve it
it`s given by grace
It`s engraved in my heart by the wonder
I see in your face
It`s not given because you deserve it
