It's not given
because you deserve it
it's given by grace
It's not given
because you deserve it
it's given by grace
I can't believe how close it was
as close as it gets
New days promise newer wonders
like a laugh a smile a frown
Then comes a day like any other
when the world comes crashing down
I saw you go how could I know
if this would be the last
time that we'd ever be
together you and me
It's not given
because we deserve it
it's given by grace
It's not given
because we deserve it
it's given by grace
Though all too brief the hours
we'd shared had redrawn my life
In this high stakes world of
give and take
couldn't you be left alone
to learn from life's
many small mistakes
to discover on your own
I couldn't bear just standing there
You were drifting out of reach
Then your eyes opened up to mine
a blessing and a sign
Not given because I deserved it
but given by grace
Chance or design
what's the reason
I wouldn't know where to begin
Faith is a small consolation
I look for a light from within
It's not given
because you deserve it
it's given by grace
It's engraved in my heart
by the wonder
I see in your face
It's not given
because you deserve it
