God’s love is everything
You can always sing
And watch the birds in the trees
Such a lovely thing
And I planted my garden when I was younger
The trees give me shelter
So, I can set and play my guitar
Ooh, o, ooh
Ooh, o, ooh
All I have is by the grace of God
Ooh, o, ooh
Ooh, o, ooh
All I have is by the grace of God
You took me as your wife
Your love never left my side
And we picked this land
And we build this house
I look to God
And I look to you
My protectors and my keepers
So, I can grow in love
Ooh, o, ooh
Ooh, o, ooh
All I have is by the grace of God
Ooh, o, ooh
Ooh, o, ooh
All I have is by the grace of God
Life is hard
Faith is harder
And there’s always someone to pull us apart
But we’ve had three children
And they keep on growing
I know to trust in God
With all my heart
Ooh, o, ooh
Ooh, o, ooh
All I have is by the grace of God
Ooh, o, ooh
Ooh, o, ooh
All I have is by the grace of God
By the grace of God
And all I need is by the grace of God
And all I need is by the grace of God
