True story

She's a small town woman

In a big time world

She's a mother and a father

To one boy three girls

She got her grandma's bible

Next to the bills and her purse

With no more options

She drops her knees in the dirt

She says

Lord please help me

I'm lost don't leave

I've tried and tried but this one thing

Now the only thing I wanna do

Is everything that tore my heart in two

I give it all to you

All I want is you

It's funny everything you thought you knew

Changes when you think your life is through

And your days are few

Now what do you do

Everything has changed everything has changed

Now I know that grace now I know that grace

Is amazing

True story

It's been since last August

No job in sight

He's now across the water

Another war to fight

He's made a lot of mistakes but

He wanna make things right

When he comes back home from battle

Another boy got shot last night

He said

Lord please help me

I'm lost don't leave

I've tried and tried but this one thing

Now the only thing I wanna do

Is everything that tore my heart in two

I give it all to you

All I want is you

It's funny everything you thought you knew

Changes when you think your life is through

And your days are few

Now what do you do

True story

Everything has changed

Everything has changed

Now I know that grace

Now I know that grace

Is amazing

She said

We put a lot of miles on this heart

The only thing

I wanted from the start is to please you

To chase you

And he said

We put a lot of miles on this heart

The only thing

I wanted from the start is to please you

We're running after you

Every day we say

Lord please help me

I'm lost don't leave

I've tried and tried but this one thing

This is my story

Now the only thing I wanna do

Is everything that tore my heart in two

I give it all to you

All I want is you

It's funny everything you thought you knew

Changes when you think your life is through

And your days are few

Now what do you do

Now the only thing I wanna do

Is everything that tore my heart in two

I give it all to you

All I want is you

It's funny everything you thought you knew

Changes when you think your life is through

And your days are few

Now what do you do

Let's ride

See it's a true story to me

How grace is amazing

It's amazing

See I don't know where I would be

Without grace amazing

It's amazing

It's not over
