It Could Be You 'instead of Him' - Johnny Cash

If you should meet some lonely soul

Who on this earth can’t reach his gold

And he’s travelin' down the road so dark and dim

Lend the 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 fallin' 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)
