Grace Under Fire

(Lord keep my footsteps steady)

Through every valley and trial

I walk forward in mercy

Cold ground beneath my shoes,

but my spirit intact

Saw the trap laid out,

had to counter the act

No fear in the chest when the odds stack high

Saw the rain turn back under heavy sky

Every scar told a lesson that I had to trace

I don't walk by my might,

I step in this place

I leave by his grace,

I move without fear (no

fear) Through the fire and the smoke

till the road turns clear

They counted me out,

but the shield held strong I leave by his grace where I

belong

Pavement wet, keeping eyes on the prize

Turned away from the whispers and subtle lies

They wanted me stuck in the gravel and clay

Found a path opening up right through the gray

Never luck, never chance,

never rolling the dice

Pay attention to the cost when you pay that price

Feet firm on the stone,

keeping up the pace

When the curtain falls and the noise subsides There is only one

truth that never hides

(tell 'em now)

Out of the storm into open space

I leave by his grace,

I move without fear

(never fear)

Through the fire and the smoke till the road turns clear

They counted me out,

but the shield held strong

I leave by his grace where I belong

(where I belong)

By his grace alone

(yeah) Walking out clean
