You didn't have to do what you did this morning

When you woke me up right on time

You didn't have to do it, but you did, open these old eyes of mine

I thank you for sparing me one more day

Through all of your many blessing all I could say;

If it wasn't for your mercy and your grace I would fail



Tell me can you, can you remember

How many times you've been on your sick bed

The doctor said nothing else we can do turned away and shook his head,

But oh grace and mercy stepped in right on time

Commanded death to take his hands off this child of mine

If it wasn't for your mercy and your grace I would fail



For your mercy and your grace

For your mercy and grace forever faithful from day to day

For your mercy, for your mercy and your grace

I don't know about you but I could not run this race

But I'm so glad you love me, and you care you promise you'd be there

For your mercy and your grace

For your mercy and your grace



I don't about you but I couldn't got up this morning

If it wasn't for your mercy and your grace

For your mercy and your grace

For your mercy I got a mind to think right now, the activity of my name

It was all because your mercy and your grace

And I want to thank you right now for your mercy and your grace

Oh Lord your mercy and your grace

I thank you for your mercy and your grace

I just want to say thank you for the many blessing you bestowed upon me right now

Thank you for your mercy and your grace

I couldn't, I couldn't, have made it without your mercy and your grace
