It Could Be You (Instead of Him) Full Lyrics

If you should meet some lonely soul who on this earth can't reach his goal And he's travelin' down a road so dark and dim (dark and dim) Lend a hand, say a prayer, give a smile that he might share But for the grace of God, it could be you instead of him (But for the grace of God, it could be you instead of him) 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 sight, share his fears, don't pass him by But for the grace of God, it could be you instead of him (It could be you instead of him) 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 (It could be you instead of him)
