Who went into battle on his face first
He was up against a wall down in Jericho

Grace under fire, grace under fire
If you're gonna be of any use
When all hell breaks loose
You've got to have ...
Grace under fire
There was a man nailed to a tree
Willingly for you and me

Grace under fire, grace under fire
If you're gonna be any of any use
When your neck's in the noose

They did not sleep, nor did they slumber
For they had received a victorious power
To have ...
Grace under fire, grace under fire
If you're gonna be any of any use
When you're under abuse
You've got to have ...
Grace under fire, grace under fire
If you're gonna be any of any use
If you want to see the chains break loose
You've got to have ...
Grace under fire
