Lord, the feelings are not the same; I guess I'm older, I guess I've changed,
And how I wish it had been explained that, as you're growing, you must remember...
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'm saved.
Oh,
Oh.
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 with you...and I bet I could deny you too.
But 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'm saved.
Oh,
Oh.
Well, nothing lasts except the grace of God, by which I stand, in Jesus,
I'm sure that my whole life would waste away, except for grace by which I'm saved.
