[Verse 1]
He never whiskey-stumbled out a bar way past closing time
Never sat handcuffed in the backseat, bloodshot eyes looking at blue lights
He gave the shirt off his back to a stranger
And nothin' but love to his neighbor
He had a grip on his anger
And then there's me
[Chorus]
'Cause I'll never walk on water, but I pour some in my bourbon
Sometimes, my straight and narrows got too much twist and turning
And He knows that I need more, so thank the Lord that He ain't through
Giving grace to folks like me doin' things
That Jesus wouldn't do
[Verse 2]
My patiencе has its limits and my words cut to the bone
Been too late to say "I'm sorry," been too soon to throw that stonе
I can forget how to forgive
Slip up and let that devil in
And fall short again and again
[Chorus]
'Cause I'll never walk on water, but I pour some in my bourbon
Sometimes, my straight and narrows got too much twist and turning
And He knows that I need more, so thank the Lord that He ain't through
Giving grace to folks like me doin' things
That Jesus wouldn't do
Jesus wouldn't do
[Bridge]
It's hard to think after everything I've done
That He'd leave the ninety-nine to come save one
[Chorus]
I'll never walk on water, but I pour some in my bourbon
Sometimes, my straight and narrows got too much twist and turning
And He knows that I need more, so thank the Lord that He ain't through
Giving grace to folks like me doing things
That Jesus wouldn't do
Yeah, that Jesus wouldn't do
