Thank You for saving
A sinner like me
To tell the world
That salvation is free
There were days
When I didn't know the right
You watched over me
All day and night

Your grace and mercy
Brought me through
I'm living this moment
Because of You
I want to thank You
And praise You too
Your grace and mercy
Brought me through
Bridge
Just to think that I should die
But grace and mercy said to me
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no"
We've already, we paid the price
I wasn't my best
You came along and You set me free
And Your grace and mercy
Came along and rescued me
Chorus
Your grace and mercy
Brought me through
I'm living this moment
Because of You
I want to thank You
And praise You too
Your grace and mercy
Brought me through

Meaning & Inspiration
“Your Grace and Mercy” is a gospel song of thanksgiving, recorded by the Gaither Vocal Band. The chorus is a plain statement of gratitude: “Your grace and mercy brought me through. I’m living this moment because of You.” The singer wants to thank and praise God for that rescue.
The second verse thanks God for saving “a sinner like me,” in order to tell the world that salvation is free, and recalls days of uncertainty when God watched over the singer day and night. The bridge is the most dramatic part, picturing a moment when the singer should have died, but grace and mercy answered “no,” because the price was already paid.
The lines are close to Ephesians 2:8, Psalm 23:6 and Romans 3:24, which speak of grace, goodness and mercy, and redemption as a gift. The song is simple and personal, and it centers on gratitude for being brought through.
