Grit and Grace

There’s holes in my heart, scars on my soul
Nights I fell apart and days I lost control
On the inside, waiting for the storm to subside
Somehow scraping by, climbing every hill
Too stubborn not to try, and never lost the will
To wander, when I hear the still beyond the thunder

Chorus:
With one part moxie, another part mettle
I found mercy refusing to settle
For a hiding place
In sacrifice and second-guessing
Finding strength in every blessing
Through all the tears and fears I had to face
I supplied the grit, God supplied the grace

Clawed tooth and nail through heartache and hell
Prayed to prevail and one day live to tell
Another story, one that had a happy ending for me
Parted with my pride, learned how to trust
With mercy as my guide, all the doubts they turned to dust
In the chapter, of who I grew to be ever after

Chorus:
With one part moxie, another part mettle
I found mercy refusing to settle
For a hiding place
In sacrifice and second-guessing
Finding strength in every blessing
Through all the tears and fears I had to face
I supplied the grit, God supplied the grace

Chorus:
With one part moxie, another part mettle
I found mercy refusing to settle
For a hiding place
In sacrifice and second-guessing
Finding strength in every blessing
Through all the tears and fears I had to face
I supplied the grit, God supplied the grace
