There's a man on a corner with a cardboard sign that reads

I'll work for food

Woman stands beside him hungry eyes that plead

Our children are hungry too

Some may say I'm foolish giving to their cause

I've become a believer that heaven's helped us all

Oh there but for the grace of god go I

How without compassion can we pass them by

Oh it could be you it could be me the world has cast aside

There but for the grace of god go I

When I think about my home late in the evening time

How we've been blessed with much more than we need

Keep a warm fire burning when it's cold outside

We don't have to worry that we might freeze

How can I go to bed at night and sleep so gracefully

If I haven't given something for the least of these

Oh there but for the grace of god go I

How without compassion can we pass them by

Oh it could be you and it could be me the world has locked outside

There but for the grace of god go I

Oh the time has come for everyone to learn to help another

We could turn this whole wide world around if we only loved each other

Oh there but for the grace of god go I

How without compassion can we pass them by

Oh it could be you and it could be me the world has locked outside

There but for the grace of god go I

There but for the grace of god go I

There but for the grace of god go I

But for the grace of god

There but for the grace of god go I

But for the grace of god

There but for the grace of god go I

But for the grace but for the grace

Oh there but for the grace of god go I

But for the grace of god

There but for the grace of god go I

But for the grace but for the grace

There but for the grace of god go I
