VERSE:
If you should meet some lonely soul who on this earth can't reach his goal
And he's traveling down a road so dark and dim (dark and dim)
Lend a hand say a prayer give a smile that he might share
But for the grace of God it could be you instead of him
(But for the grace of God it could be you instead of him)
VERSE:
Befriend each stranger in the night help to make his burdens light
Lift up the fallen ones and be a friend (be a friend)
Shed a tear share a sigh share his fears don't pass him by
But for the grace of God it could be you instead of him
(It could be you instead of him)
TAG:
Shed a tear share a sigh share his fears don't pass him by
But for the grace of God it could be you instead of him
(It could be you instead of him)
*The G chords in parenthesis are not played
in the recording, but I think they sound good.
