Small Graces
by Bob Bennett

Album: Small Graces

Sometimes they slip by without notice
Sometimes they're very hard to see
Other times it's all so clear
When they're happening to me

Bright penny on the sidewalk
Can't buy nothin' by itself
But when I hold it in my hands
It's a tiny piece of priceless wealth

These are the small graces
The little moments when the miracles come
These are the small graces
Small graces leading me to the larger ones

A smile that is not automatic
That lingers on a little more
Than the time it takes to count my change
The time it takes to close the drawer

Small graces surely have a meaning
Beyond their merely passing by
They are a reminder to the heart
There's more to life than meets the eye
More to life than meets the eye

Cheerful greetings unexpected
Shared by strangers on the run
For when the sky is clouded over
Still the promise of the sun...

Is in the small graces
The little moments when the miracles come
These are the small graces
Small graces pointing me to the larger ones
Small graces
Little glimpses of the kingdom come
From unexpected places
These are the small graces
