Grace

from Self Assembly by Jim Pearson

lyrics

I had my feet up in the sitting room watching TV
Wondering why my life has been so unextraordinary
Flicking through the channels I accidentally caught the news
Another senseless tragedy
A wave of guilt swept over me

In a moment everything can change
When circumstances are beyond our control

There but for the grace of God go I
Heaven only knows why I deserve another try
You’ve been so unlucky I could cry
There but for the grace of God go I

If you need a new religion there are many you can choose
I know they cannot all be right and yet I stand accused
Of only praying for myself when I’m in dire need
And putting all my faith in random improbabilities

In a moment everything can change
When situations get out of control

There but for the grace of God go I
Heaven only knows why I deserve another try
You’ve been so unlucky I could cry
There but for the grace of God go I
