Lord, the feelings are not the same,

I guess Im older, I guess Ive changed.

And how I wish it had been explained, that as youre growing you must remember,

That nothing lasts, except the grace of god, by which I stand, in jesus.

I know that I would surely fall away, except for grace, by which Im saved.

Lord, I remember that special way,

I vowed to serve you, when it was brand new.

But like peter, I cant even watch and pray, one hour with you,

And I bet, I could deny you too.

But nothing lasts, except the grace of god, by which I stand, in jesus.

Im sure that my whole life would waste away, except for grace, by which Im saved.

But nothing lasts, except the grace of god, by which I stand, in jesus.

I know that I would surely fall away, except for grace, by which Im saved.
