Saving Grace re-trans
Retranslation from the German version of the Bob Dylan song by Peter Post
German Version
Original Version
The Grace of God
If your heart approves it, will I be forgiven?
I owe you an apology before I go
I’ve escaped death so many times, I’m only alive
By the grace of God that’s over me
In all this time I thought that I am sleeping
In a box without end
My faith keeps me awake and my safe harbor
Is the grace of God that’s over me
When everything is over comes the resurrection
Wherever I am welcome there I go
In Him I trust and that is my providence:
The grace of God that’s over me
The devil shines so shrill, he can really blind you
But no fairy conjures love for you
All you find until the world will end
Is the grace of God that’s over me
The wicked knows no peace, it’s just hiding the weapons
There’s only one road and it leads into great pain
You’re losing courage oftentimes but I know I’ll make it
By the grace of God that’s over me
