VERSE:

A (G) D A

If you should meet some lonely soul who on this earth can't reach his goal

E

And he's traveling down a road so dark and dim (dark and dim)

A (G) D A

Lend a hand say a prayer give a smile that he might share

E A

But for the grace of God it could be you instead of him

A E A

(But for the grace of God it could be you instead of him)

VERSE:

Befriend each stranger in the night help to make his burdens light

Lift up the fallen ones and be a friend (be a friend)

Shed a tear share a sigh share his fears don't pass him by

But for the grace of God it could be you instead of him

A E A

(It could be you instead of him)

TAG:

Shed a tear share a sigh share his fears don't pass him by
