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

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'm sure that my whole life would waste away
Except for grace, by which I'm saved

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
