She walks up the steps that stormy day
Black eye tells the story of why she can’t stay
She stands beside me with open hands
A torn tattered life hanging on to
Shoelaces of Grace
Her Hope is reborn with
Shoelaces of Grace
She’s walking forward
Leaves everything to find shelter here
Clings to Him with just a wing and a prayer
Her faith humbles me that Sunday morning
She feels love come down with
Shoelaces of Grace
Her Hope is reborn with
Shoelaces of Grace
She’s walking forward with
knotted laces from trying to survive
bound up anxious desperate for life
Shoelaces of Grace
Her Hope is reborn with
Shoelaces of Grace
She’s walking forward with
Shoelaces of Grace
