Lyrics
GRACE
Words and Music by Jon Mark Ivey
Woke up in a state
Can’t remember which one I came from
I'd driven blind, had blacked out
Came to passed out
At a truck stop
Woke up in a sweat
Another near death
experience
experience
experience over the top
Pulled out the stops
Ran from my thoughts until I couldn’t
Now it’s grace that I seek
in this state of need
Now it’s grace that I seek
And now it’s grace
(Now it’s grace)
It’s grace that I seek
Roll up on old memories, frequently
They chew me up and spit me out
But their hold has been split down the middle
Feeling love is what I’m singing tonight
Oh it’s grace that I seek
In this state of need
Now it’s grace that i seek
And now it’s grace that I hear
Now it’s grace I
I hear I hear I hear
(I hear I hear I hear I hear)
The words keep pouring out
They shake me up, and toss me around
I’m up too late, time ticks away,
My heart beats fast
With these Words on page (I am here, I am here)
With these Words on page (I am here, I am here)
With these Words on page (I am here, I am here)
Are grace
