[Verse 1] I heard a man at the back row say, First cause proves the floor we stand on. But a ladder ain’t the house, my friend, And a map ain’t the place we’re from. You can point to the smoke in the air, Still miss the hand that lit the flame. [Pre-Chorus] I’m not fighting over shadows. I’m asking what the heart gets saved by. If the Lord is more than a reason, Then mercy is the reason why. [Chorus] I need the saving kind I need the saving kind Not just a name for the sky But grace that finds me alive (Grace that finds me alive) [Verse 2] Providence is bread on the table, Rain at the time the field goes dry. It’s a hand on the wheel in the winter, It’s a door that opens in July. And faith ain’t a trick of the mind, It’s trust when the trouble moves in. [Pre-Chorus] What good is a throne in the distance If it never bends down to me? What good is a God in the question If He won’t bring the lost home free? [Chorus] I need the saving kind I need the saving kind Not just a name for the sky But grace that finds me alive (Grace that finds me alive) [Bridge] So don’t hand me a theory Wrapped in holy light. I’m looking for the Shepherd Who’ll carry me through night. If He made the stars and seedfields, Then He can make me new. That’s the faith I’m talking about, The faith that sees me through. [Chorus] I need the saving kind I need the saving kind Not just a name for the sky But grace that finds me alive (Grace that finds me alive) [Outro] I need the saving kind I need the saving kind Amen, amen, amen Grace that finds me alive
