Lyrics Margaret Becker

Grace

I swung that hammer

'Till my hands got weak

Swung that thing

'Till I was crazy from the heat

I built that tower right in my back yard

I worked so long man, I tried so hard

Ain't no ladder

Ain't no steps

Ain't no way to earn it

I'm talkin' 'bout Grace, Grace

Lay it all down my brother, my sister

Lay it all down at the feet of Grace

Grace, Grace

Lay it all down my brother, my sister

Lay it all down at the feet of Grace

I jumped so high

That I caused a scene

Followed every rule

'Till I was squeaky clean

Learned so much, that I didn't know a thing

All that work man, and what did it bring?

Ain't no ladder

Ain't no steps

Ain't no way to earn it

I'm talkin' 'bout Grace, Grace

Lay it all down my brother, my sister

Lay it all down at the feet of Grace

Grace, Grace

Lay it all down my brother, my sister

Lay it all down at the feet of Grace

Oh my, my

Could it be?

The best things in life are

Still free, still free, still free, still free

We've got to give it up

When what we have is much too much, my brother

We've got to give it up

When what we have is just not enough, my sister

We've got to give it all

When all we've got has led us to seek not His face

We've got to keep on, keep on, keeping on

Layin' it all down

Lay it all down

Lay it all down now

Take my house, my car and my cat

Take it all and don't bring it back

The only thing that I've got

That's worth anything

Is this gift so

Humbling, humbling. Oh humbling, so humbling,

Oh humbling, so humbling,

Oh humbling, so humbling

Give me that gift
