[Verse 1] Thought I made it on my own Hung my trophies on the wall Told my story like a hero Like I’d planned it all But you were up before the sunrise Packing lunches, paying bills While I played with fire and vision You were climbing quiet hills [Chorus] It’s grace and grit that hold this house together Sacred favor, working hands and weathered leather If I stand up here and call it “destiny” I forget the God who carried And the woman who believed in me Grace and grit That’s the truth that set me free [Verse 2] I was bragging ‘bout my boldness How I’d laid it on the line Quoting verses, raising voices Thinking faith was all that shined But courage’s just a candle If it’s standing in the wind Till His mercy builds a shelter And she’s holding up the hinge [Chorus] It’s grace and grit that hold this house together Sacred favor, working hands and weathered leather If I stand up here and call it “destiny” I forget the God who carried And the woman who believed in me Grace and grit That’s the truth that set me free [Bridge] I’m not here ‘cause I was stronger I’m here ‘cause you stayed I’m not here ‘cause I was righteous I’m here ‘cause He made a way (oh, He made a way) [Chorus] It’s grace and grit that hold this house together Holy kindness, tired eyes under worn-out sweaters If I stand up here and call it “victory” I remember God who carried And the woman still beside of me Grace and grit That’s the truth that set me free Grace and grit That’s the truth that set me free
