\nThe best path we could seek
\nA place where God can lift us
\nWe kneel; our knees is weak<\/em><\/p>\n
\nWe understand his fears.
\nWe know what all us is feelin\u2019
\nWe cry each other\u2019s tears.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nFor all us human folk.
\nHe agreed to come get born
\nTo feel ever\u2019 pain and poke.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nWhat it is to be a slave.
\nSo\u2019s he could get beneath us
\nAnd push us outa the grave<\/em><\/p>\n
\nOr the Roman with his whip?
\nWould you rather nail the Savior\u2013
\nPut vinegar to his lip?<\/em><\/p>\n
\nHow we nothin\u2019 without grace.
\nJesus, He give us a callin\u2019
\nHe gifted us our race.<\/em><\/p>\n
