Grace By Which I Stand
[Verse 1]
Lord, the feelings are not the same
I guess I'm older, I guess I've changed
And now I wish I had been explained
That as you're growing, you must remember

[Chorus 1]
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 I stand

[Verse 2]
Lord, I remember that special way
I vowed to serve you, when it was brand new
But like Peter, I can't even watch and pray
One hour and I bet
I could deny you too

[Chorus 2]
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 I stand
[Instrumental]

[Chorus 2]
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 I stand

[Outro]
But like Peter, I can't even watch and pray
One hour and I bet
I could deny you too

[Instrumental]
