I Made Room For Grace

Words and Music by Melinda Wood Allen and Sue Riley

I used to think I had to have my own way, could do everything on my own

Living my life as a one woman play, feeling confused and alone

Still, I held on tight to the life that I knew, till it wasn’t the life I remembered

Finally admitting I hadn’t a clue, opened my arms in surrender

And, I made room for grace, I just stepped aside, opened up a space,

now the blessings arrive every day

Since, I made room for grace.

I want to live without making demands, asking for help when I need it

Being happy just doing the best that I can,

When I stumble I won’t be defeated.

If I had insisted on all that I wanted, I see I’d have sold myself short

But, when I stopped resisting I got what I wanted and so much more.

Since I made room for grace I just stepped aside

Opened up a space, now the blessings arrive every day

Since I made room for grace
