WHAT’S SO AMAZING ABOUT GRACE

SHE FIGHTS THE MORNING CROWD AND GETS HER KIDS TO SCHOOL
SHE WORKS DOWN AT THE GROCERY
UNTIL EARLY AFTERNOON
SHE FIGHTS THE GOOD FIGHT ALL DAY LONG
SHE GATHERS UP HER FAITH AND HOPE AND LOVE
AND TAKES IT HOME

SHE FEEDS HER FAMILY BY THAT LIGHT IN THE HALL
IT’S NOTHING FANCY BUT IT’S ENOUGH FOR THEM ALL
THEY LOOK UP TO HEAVEN BEFORE THEIR MEAL
SOMETIMES YOU’VE TO LIVE WITH THAT CARDS YOU DEAL

THAT’S WHAT SO AMAZING ABOUT GRACE
YOU CAN SEE IT IN HER SMILE YOU CAN FEEL IT ON HER FACE
‘CAUSE SHE KNOWS THOSE KIDS ARE SAFE IN THIS PLACE
AND THAT’S WHAT’S SO AMAZING ABOUT GRACE

EVERYWHERE SHE LOOKS SHE SEES THE SIGNS OF HER AGE
FROM THAT STRANGER IN THE MIRROR
WITH THOSE LINES ON HER FACE
SHE REMEMBERS WHAT HER MAMA SAID WHEN HER DADDY LEFT THEM ALONE
SHE SAID “HONEY, ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE TO MAKE A HOME”

THAT’S WHAT SO AMAZING ABOUT GRACE
YOU CAN SEE IT IN HER SMILE YOU CAN FEEL IT ON HER FACE
‘CAUSE SHE KNOWS THOSE KIDS ARE SAFE IN THIS PLACE
AND THAT’S WHAT’S SO AMAZING ABOUT GRACE

THOSE NIGHTS ARE LONG AND THOSE DAYS ARE HARD
BUT NOT AS HARD AS THOSE SHOTS TO THE FACE
AND EVERY NIGHT SHE TRIES TO FIND AWAY
SO THAT IN HEART SHE CAN FORGIVE SOMEDAY

THAT’S WHAT SO AMAZING ABOUT GRACE
YOU CAN SEE IT IN HER SMILE YOU CAN FEEL IT ON HER FACE
‘CAUSE SHE KNOWS THOSE KIDS ARE SAFE IN THIS PLACE
AND THAT’S WHAT’S SO AMAZING SO UTTERLY AMAZING
YEAH THAT’S WHAT SO AMAZING ABOUT GRACE
