    The song describes how the singer once tried to follow God through their own efforts but always fell short, wandering down pointless roads. They realized that human effort alone is never enough to gain salvation or heaven. The singer acknowledges that without God's grace, they would be forever running but losing the race for salvation. The friend who is God took the singer's place and ran the difficult race for them, paying the ultimate cost so that the singer would not be lost. God's grace is what saves the singer from wandering aimlessly and makes their salvation possible.

    WERE IT NOT FOR GRACE

    Time measured out my days


    Life carried me along
    In my soul I yearned to follow God
    But knew I’d never be so strong
    I looked hard at this world
    To learn how heaven could be gained
    Just to end where I began
    Where human effort is all in vain

    Chorus:
    Were it not for grace (Were it not for grace)
    I can tell you where I’d be
    Wand’ring down some pointless road to nowhere
    With my salvation up to me
    I know how that would go (I know how that would go)
    The battles I would face
    Forever running but losing the race
    Were it not for grace

    So here is all my praise


    Expressed with all my heart
    Offered to the Friend who took my place
    And ran a course I could not start
    And when He saw in full
    Just how much His would cost
    He still went the final mile between me and heaven
    So I would not be lost

    (Repeat Chorus)

    Forever running but losing this race


    Were it not for grace
