Grace Walks By - Eli Lyrics

Verse
She was so beautiful
Lightning in her hair
She was in his sight
But the flashing lights
Of resentment filled his eyes
Left him scared and blind
Pre-chorus
Life is cold now
He wishes he could see
Chorus
Forgiveness walks right by him
But he can't see her face
It's bitterness that blinds him
Oh, she walks up to him
He would look her in the eyes
If he still believed in grace
Still believed in grace
Verse
He used to dance with her
This old man in a chair
Now he don't walk no more
They used to dance like the wind
Until a storm blew him down
Left him broken on the floor
Pre-chorus
Life is slow now
He wishes he could reach
Chorus
Forgiveness dances by him
But he can't join her
Cuz bitterness leads instead
Oh, he reaches for him
And he would take her hand
If she could raise the dead
Oh, she could raise the dead
Pre-chorus
Looking back now
At what others have missed
Pre-chorus
I am pleading
For redemption's kiss
Chorus
Forgiveness walks up to me
And i will join her
Cuz bitterness leads to death
Oh, she reaches for me
And i will take her hand
Together we will dance
Oh, together we will dance
