the questions kept coming though
couldn’t quite understand
all the phrases that flowed
from the mouth of this man

my grace is enough
i heard the lord say
but my heart wasn’t ready
to ask the lord on that day

so i shoved out the thought
that i needed a god
i’d find my own way
i said with a nod

by the time i hit thirty
i’d matured quite some bit
i’d found the girl of my dreams
and built a car from a kit

i had friends that would laugh
at whatever i said
and the drugs i’d discovered
messed with my head

but my grace is enough
the lord said again
but i drowned out his voice
with my newly found friend

how could a god
who’s righteous and pure
love me enough
to send his son as a cure

so booze was my comfort
it became first in my life
til i’d lost all my friends
my job and my wife

fifty came much too early
my eyesight now dimming
the hearing was going
gravity winning

looking back was a blur
of failures and what-if's
alimony and counseling
were my life's gifts

so you can see my surprise
when his voice came once more
asking and pleading
knocking on my hearts door

my grace is enough
won’t you please let me in
your life is a mess
but it’s mercy i’m giving

my cold soul finally melted
i asked him into my heart
he had never given up
though he’d known from the start

what a struggle i’d live
and the pain i’d endure
it could have been easier
of this i am sure

but the life i now live
is filled with joy that i share
he gave a new wife
and my life he repaired

from hell’s doorstep to heaven’s
he changed me like that
though i’d used up eight lives
there was one left in this cat

and that’s what i trusted
to be filled with his love
because no matter how bad
his grace was enough
