If Not For Grace Lyrics
Where would I be You only know
I’m Glad You see through eyes of love
A hopeless case, an empty place
If not for Grace
I thank you for the the things I can not see
You’ve been a shelter in the storms of life
A shield surrounding me
And I thank you for the mercy you provide
I know you could have walked away
But you stayed a thousand times
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
I once was lost but now I’m found
A hopeless case, an empty place
If not for Grace
Precious Lord please take my hand
Lead me on let me stand
A hopeless case, an empty place
If not for Grace
Notes
To a Christian, this hymn is a heartfelt testimony about God’s transforming grace. The singer admits that without God’s mercy, life would be “a hopeless case, an empty place.” The phrase “If not for Grace” reflects the core Christian belief that salvation is a gift from God, not something earned.
The reference to “Amazing grace” connects to the classic hymn Amazing Grace, echoing the truth that those once lost in sin are now found through Christ.
Calling God a shelter and shield portrays Him as protector and sustainer through life’s storms. The gratitude for unseen blessings shows trust in God’s faithful work behind the scenes.
“Precious Lord, please take my hand” recalls dependence on divine guidance, similar to Take My Hand, Precious Lord. Overall, the hymn expresses humility, thankfulness, and deep reliance on God’s unwavering grace and love.
