Grace Walks By - ELI

She was so beautiful

Lightning in her hair

She was in his sight

But the flashing lights

Of resentment filled his eyes

Left him scared and blind

Life is cold now

He wishes he could see

Forgiveness walks right by him

But he can’t see her face

It’s bitterness that blinds him

Oh, she walks up to him

He would look her in the eyes

If he still believed in grace

Still believed in grace

He used to dance with her

This old man in a chair

Now he don’t walk no more

They used to dance like the wind

Until a storm blew him down

Left him broken on the floor, yeah

Life is slow now

He wishes he could reach

Forgiveness dances by him

But he can’t join her

'Cause bitterness leads instead

Oh, she reaches for him

And he would take her hand

If she could raise the dead

Oh, she could raise the dead

Looking back now

At what others have missed

I am pleading for redemption’s kiss

Forgiveness walks up to me

And I will join her

'Cause bitterness leads to death

Oh, she reaches for me

And I will take her hand

Together we will dance

Oh, together we will dance

Together we will dance

Yeah, together we will dance
