There's a man on a corner with a cardboard sign that reads I will work for food A woman stands beside him with hungry eyes that plead Our children are hungry too Some may say I'm foolish for giving to their cause I've become a believer that heaven's helped us all Oh there but for the grace of God go I How without compa**ion can we pa** them by Oh it could be you it could be me the world has cast aside There but for the grace of God go I When I think about my home late in the evening time How we've been blessed with much more than we need Keep a warm fire burning when it's cold outside We don't have to worry that we might freeze How can I go to bed at night and sleep so gracefully If I haven't given something for the least of these
Oh there but for the grace of God go I How without compa**ion can we pa** them by Oh it could be you and it could be me the world has locked outside There but for the grace of God go I Oh the time has come for everyone to learn to help another We could turn this whole wide world around if we only loved each other Oh there but for the grace of God go I How without compa**ion can we pa** them by Oh it could be you and it could be me the world has locked outside There but for the grace of God go I There but for the grace of God go I There but for the grace of God go I There but for the grace of God There but for the grace of God go I There but for the grace of God There but for the grace of God go I
