My Saving Grace

Mariah Carey · 3 Cd Collector's Set [2009]

I've still got a lot to learn

But, at least I know where I can turn

When I'm in my times of need

Just as long

(As I know all things are possible)

Just as long as I believe



I've loved a lot, hurt a lot

Been burned a lot in my life and times

Spent precious years wrapped up in fear

With no end in sight

Until my saving grace shined on me

Until my saving grace set me free



Giving me peace

Giving me strength when I'd

Almost lost it all

Catching my every fall

I still exist because you keep me safe

I found my saving grace within you



Yes, I've been bruised

Grew up confused

Been destitute

I've seen life from many sides

Been stigmatized

Been black and white

Felt inferior inside

Until my saving grace shined on me

Until my saving grace set me free



Giving me peace

Giving me strength when I'd

Almost lost it all

Catching my every fall

I still exist because you keep me safe

I found my saving grace within you



And the bountiful things that you do

Lord thank you

For delivering me



And giving me peace

Giving me strength

Giving me hope when I'd

Almost lost it all

Catching my every fall

I still exist because you keep me safe

Always my saving grace

Pulls me through

I found my saving grace within you



(Yes you are - you're my every, everything)

Within you...

(Only, only you)

Yes Lord

(Only you)

My saving grace Lord is

You
