[Intro – Old-School Bell Rings] DING! [Sister Grace] Saved by the bell? [Pause] Nah. Wrong kind of saved. [808 DROPS] [Verse 1] Wasn't saved by luck, wasn't saved by charm, wasn't 'cause I checked every box and never did wrong. Wasn't good behavior, perfect attendance, wasn't my résumé or my independence. I couldn't earn mercy, couldn't purchase my place, couldn't climb high enough to get myself saved. So if you're wondering what changed everything... [Bell Rings] Not the bell. It was GRACE! [Pre-Chorus] Right place? Nope. Right time? Nah. Lucky little break at the finish line? Not that. I didn't barely make it when the clock ran out... Jesus saved me. Let's clear that up now! [Chorus] SAVED BY THE BELL? NAH! Saved by GRACE! Didn't beat the buzzer, He already made a way! DING-DING! Let it ring, but the bell didn't do a thing! Love stepped in, mercy won, Jesus said, "It is done!" Saved by the bell? NAH! Saved by Grace! And yeah... that's funny coming from me! [Verse 2] People say, "Grace, you got your name in the hook." I know. Would've been rude not to. [Beat Kicks Back] But don't confuse the singer with the song, I'm Sister Grace, but His grace made me strong. Capital G on the mic tonight, little-g me just pointing to Christ. Wait... [Beat Stops] Does Grace need a capital G when it's also my name? [Bell Rings] We'll figure that out later. [808 SLAMS BACK] I know this much: I didn't save me. Couldn't outwork sin, couldn't outgood shame. Didn't sneak through Heaven when the guard looked away. I came through the door that was opened by Grace! [FAST RAP] Bell go DING, bass go BOOM, Grace got saved and she cleared some room! Not by works, not by fame, not by stacking good deeds beside my name! Can't swipe grace, can't buy grace, can't put grace on layaway! Can't clock in, can't earn enough, that's why they call the Gospel GOOD STUFF! Wait... wrong song. [Beat Stops] Album callback. [Beat Returns] KEEP UP! Saved when I'm winning, saved when I'm not, saved when my record ain't looking too hot. Mercy ain't waiting with a stopwatch ticking, Jesus ain't saying, "Better earn this quick!" Clock runs down? Grace don't quit. Game goes long? Grace still hits. Bell can ring, whole room can shake, but a bell never carried a cross in my place! That's the point, that's the truth, that's the reason I'm dancing in the booth! So DING if you want, let the whole thing clang... [Music Cuts] But that ain't what saved this Grace. [Single Bell] DING. [Sister Grace] I literally just told you. [FINAL CHORUS – Gospel Choir] SAVED BY THE BELL? NAH! SAVED BY GRACE! Didn't beat the buzzer, He already made a way! DING-DING! Let it ring, but the bell didn't do a thing! Love stepped in, mercy won, Jesus said, "IT IS DONE!" Saved by the bell? NAH! SAVED BY GRACE! [Gospel Voices] SAVED BY GRACE! [Sister Grace] Okay... now THAT'S my name. [Outro – Bell Rings] DING! [Sister Grace] You're really enjoying this, aren't you? [Final 808 Hit]
