We’ve Gotta Get Back to His Grace

Lyrics © 2011 by Dennis L. Harrison / Jesse L. McCuin

There’s a feelin’ but, oh, what a pity—
     When the truth is yours and mine.
People spend all their days and nights a-tryin,
     But to God, it’s so vain and silly.

No one here can be truly good.
     How much time before it’s understood?
See my brothers in church and jail;
     See my friends strivin’ every day.

Gotta listen to what God and the Spirit say.
     Oh, yes, I know. Yeah!
They’ve been workin’ so hard. Yeah!
     I’ve been workin’ hard too, bro—
Every night and day—
     Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

We’ve gotta get back to His grace—
     No amount of works will ever do.
We’ve gotta get back to His grace
     ‘Cause grace is the gift of life to me and you.

There’s a feelin, but, oh, what a pity—
     When the truth is yours and mine,
People spend all their days and nights a-tryin,
     But to God, it’s so vain and silly—
No one here can be truly good.
     How much time before it’s understood?

Oh, we need to know.
     Yeah! They’ve been workin’ so hard.
Yeah! I’ve been workin’ hard too, bro-every night and day.
     Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

We’ve gotta get back to His grace-
     No amount of works will ever do.
We’ve gotta get back to His grace
     ‘Cause grace is the gift of life to me and you.

Oh, yes, I know it now!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

We’ve gotta get back to His grace—
     No amount of works will ever do.
We’ve gotta get back to His grace
     ‘Cause grace is the gift of life to me and you.
