The same grace I've been given

The same grace I've been given
by Joel Howard

Hospital bedside
Nursing at momma's side
Looking in my father's eyes
Enjoying sun outside
Hearing words of the wise
Educated as to "why"
That is what grace 
Which came unto me
That is the grace
I've been giv'n

Younger ones look up to me
God speaking to me deeply
Gifts I've so oft' received
Chance to give homeless mouths' feed
Been parented faithfully
Been given the air I need to breathe
That is what grace
That came unto me
That is the grace
I've been giv'n

You say, "With what resources 
Am I to give out?"
And, "Who is to pay for 
What I distribute now?" 
And say, "Is there enough
To somehow go around?" 
He says, "Give with the same 
Grace you've been given"
I give with the same grace
I've been given

The word of God, endless stories told
Given new chances as old ones unfold
Taught to fight well and to be bold
Each day new, you break the old mold
Discipline as love, as me you would scold
Commanded your love to a kid named Joel
That is what grace
Came unto me
That is the grace
I've been giv'n

You say, "What happens
After I pour out?"
And, "Who will replace
Once I've bowed down?" 
And say, "Will there be
Enough water on the ground?" 
He says, "Give with the same 
Grace you've been given"
I give with the same grace
I've been given
