Grace For The Day

[Intro]
God gave me just enough grace for the day
Deep breath in
All that weight on the way
Let it stay in the wind
[Chorus]
God gave me just enough grace for the day
So no time for hate
No time for hate (no way)
Kindness and compassion the road I chose
If you’re searching for battle woes
Better look inward, check that soul
Just enough grace for the day
Just enough grace on my way
[Verse 1]
Eyes swollen from the nights I prayed
Tears dried on a cheap duvet
Phone full of drama, I hit delay
Turned all that noise to a quiet “stay”
Tongue used to cut, now it tries to heal
Heart used to rush, now it learns to kneel
Wrath in my chest turned to rolling smoke
Floated to the roof with the words I spoke
[Verse 2]
They throw shade, I just throw a smile
Feel that burn in my ribs run a holy mile
Old me plotting on a sharp reply
New me humming on a soft reply
Hands off the war, off the petty show
If you want that hurt, then you gotta go
Look in your mirror for the real-ass foe
Every scar on your face tell a truth you know
[Bridge]
Grace in the gutter, in the bus stop rain
Grace in the debt, in the overdraft pain
Grace in the “leave” when the love turn strange
Grace in the “breathe” when the lungs feel flames
[Chorus]
God gave me just enough grace for the day
So no time for hate
No time for hate (no way)
Kindness and compassion the road I chose
If you’re searching for battle woes
Better look inward, check that soul
Just enough grace for the day
Just enough grace on my way
