If I Ever Needed Grace Lyrics

It still feels like yesterday
A lifetime of empty days
My hungry heart was desperate for a meal
I feasted on the bread of life
Forgiveness pierced me like a knife
Your breath filled up my lungs and I could feel
I was broke and all I could say was
If I ever needed grace, it's now
You are strong when I am weak, somehow
I am weak enough to see, I need You to cover me
If I ever needed grace, it's now
I met the woman of my dreams
Wanted to give her everything
Then fear came like a thief in the night

But my journal pages prophesied
That one day I'd make her my bride
And soon my best friend was wearing white
With our lives ahead all I could say was
If I ever needed grace, it's now
You are strong when I am weak, somehow
And I am weak enough to see that I need You to cover me
If I ever needed grace, it's now
In every joy and pain
Whatever comes my way
God, I need Your grace
Nine short months 'til she arrived
Little hands and lions eyes
And I'm so scared I don't have what it takes
But I hear Your voice, "Son, lean on me"
Father, give me eyes to see
All I need's the power of Your name
If I ever needed grace, it's now
You are strong when I am weak, somehow
Now I am weak enough to see, I need You to cover me
If I ever needed grace
If I ever needed grace, it's now
