A grace that is ever mindful
Of a mind which can't believe
It held back Abraham's hand
It burned the altar down

And it can only work it out
If we believe to see a powdered snowfall
On a rocky mountain scene
To see the water breaking

To smell the air and taking one breath after another
Till the heart is clean
There are those who merely listen
'Cause they think they cannot sing
There are those who join the music

And they become free and if your story
Doesn't wind up ending happy after all
There's a grace that's there
It's everywhere and it's equal to the fall

A grace that'll let me suffer
So that I can persevere
It sent that stone a rolling
It made that leper whole

And it can make the blind to see
And the deaf to hear, hear another daytime
Breaking to the nightime music playing on the harps
Of the birds and the crickets

And the memories grown as thick as fog
Along the Taneycomo waterway, oh
His grace is shown in many ways
And if you'll look around I think
You'll see what I am talking about

Oh, we don't have the time to waste
'Cause we are fallen and in the middle of it all
There are those who merely listen
'Cause they think they cannot sing
There are those who join the music

And they become free and if your story
Doesn't wind up ending happy after all
There's a grace that's there, it's everywhere
And it's equal to the fall
