Chorus:
Another day, I could not face
Without Your goodness, Your mercy, Your grace
I could not live in this terrible place
Without Your goodness, Your mercy, Your grace x2

Verse 1:
I couldn't even go (couldn't even go)
To the corner store
If I didn't know your arms of protection were around

I couldn't even ride (couldn't even ride)
In a city street car
Or even take a trip out of town

This is what I'd do, I'd stay at home (stay at home)
Locked up in my room
With all the windows and doors shut tight

But now I'm free (now I'm free)
I can go were I want to be
And know that everything's alright

Chorus

Verse 2:
Your mercy (your mercy), covers sinners too
As they go on their daily tasks

The don't know (they don't know), that it's really you
And they don't even bother to ask

But your grace (but your grace), keeps right on covering them
Til' you bring them into the knowledge of the truth

By your son (by your son), you can open their eyes
So that they'll realize that its really you

Chorus

Bridge
It's no goodness of my own, but its by the grace of God
That I've been kept all this time, and I still have a mind to go on

It's really no goodness of my own, no, but it's by the grace of God

That I've been kept all this time, and I still have a mind (x3)
To go on
