I am young, afraid
My dreams have changed
I am walking down the road
Oh Lord, save my soul
I look back and run
I feel my time has come
Like a claw at my skin
Oh Lord, help me win
Beat the judgement the sin
Beat the violence within
My fellow human race
Oh Lord, Give Us Grace
Grace, end the hate
Grace to relate
Grace from above
Oh Grace, give us love
Oh Grace, give us love
I watch them die
My people and I
Am aware of my end
Oh time be my friend
It creeps up so fast
As the hours go past
And we take our last breath
Oh Lord, give us strength
We have seen so much
And our heart may give up
On the ones we embrace
Oh Lord, Give Us Grace
Grace, end the hate
Grace to relate
Grace from above
Oh Grace, give us love
Oh Grace, give us love
