BJ Stewart Band - Grace for Today Lyrics

I could sit all day and stare
At the rain outside my window
Hoping the clouds will float away
So I could the sun again
Maybe I could just close my eyes
And drift off to a far away land
Where there's joy and the air is filled with laughter
And the stories always and happy ever after
Happy ever after
It's never come easy to me
To handle any kind of adversity
There's no shortage on any given day
Of opportunities for me to get in my own way
Open my eyes so I can see
That You're still working on me
And until this journey is through
You just keep doing what You do
As if You need my permission
Your grace for today is all that I need
Though I really want to ask You for more
As if You haven't already gave enough
You've given more than I deserve
But less than I ask You for
There's an angry man in my chair
And I'm told he used to look a lot like me
Now he stays mad at the world
And the world has turned him kinda ugly
And in the mirror over there
Is a frightened little boy looking back at me
Saying, you better stop being so scared
Before you end up like that man over there
The one who is sitting in your chair
Your grace for today is all that I need
Though I really want to ask You for more
As if You haven't already gave enough
You've given more than I deserve
But less than I ask You for
Your grace is sufficient to perfect the very best that I've got
It covers everything I am, and makes up for everything I'm not
We both know that's a lot
Your grace for today is more than I need
Though I really want to ask You for more
Help me to trust its enough
It's not what I deserve and that's what I want to be thankful for
So as I sit here and stare at the rain outside my window
I say let the rain fall where it may
'Cause I've got Your grace for today
