After a long ride
I stopped to figure out the way
Sometimes you just need to slow down
And walk beneath the sun awhile
Find a place to be quiet with your thoughts
Grace will find you
In that city you just happen to be passing through
She traveled a long time
Laid her bare feet on the jagged road
She watched the sun set a hundred times
But there's hope ahead
And she said, "Lord,
You've set me apart from the world for a while,
And here on a poor girl's face
Shines Your unconditional love!"
And I found it on a crumbling road,
Found it when I fell with a fallen world,
I found it through my tears,
Found it through my bitterness,
Found it in the heat and in the cold,
In my old ways,
In the depths of my soul You rose again -
May I lay where Christ laid
And I know when you're feeling alone
There's a hand reaching to take you home.
Grace'll find you
In that city you just happen to be passing through.
She laid in her bed at night
With the door closed against the noise downstairs
And she turned out the light and just cried
For a long time
And in her old wintry state
She'd forgotten her hope and her faith
Taking a walk
And the street lamps burned out -
She saw a star break through the clouds
Grace'll find you
In that city you just happen to be passing through
He'll find you there.
