Story Behind The Song
Do the best you can and take the high road. The lyric was easy once the right mood was struck with the guitar chords. I happen to love major 7's because they're so pretty and I thought of how I am so grateful for my wife and how hard her job is, not only

Lyrics
Side of Grace
© Ross Vick 2004
?My hair is such a wreck? She did reflect
As she shot a glance at the Hallway mirror
?I?ve got to tighten up?What?s fallin? down
And make flat what is getting rounder."
Yeah the future had better fear her
She took a husband to raise
And she hands him praise
Like he is one of the children
She drives a carpool sleigh
Runs the PTA and cuts the grass on Saturdays
The kids are fine Even when out of line
They?re just children after all
But they recognize between Wrong and right
And they know from watching
Which way to fall
They know to err to grace
Be fair of face
And be grateful for what they?re given
She told them Don?t be a cheat
Try to be neat But not so much as you quit living
Yeah err on the side of grace
Her best friend called late last night
All upset because her husband was leaving
It wasn?t so much that she?d miss his face
She was fearful of all the grieving
She told her:
err to grace Be fair of face
And be grateful you?ve been given your freedom
Don?t be a cheat Try to be neat
But not so much as you quit living
She told her: Err on the side of grace
She makes the best of what she knows
And what she knows is that she is loved
She?s not alone in what she?s doing
Her Love and kids have never hid
But sometimes it takes come cueing
It?s not all perfect no it?s far from it
But every since she?s begun it
She?s tried to err to grace Be fair of face
And she?s grateful for what she?s been given
She doesn?t be a cheat Tries to be neat
But not so much as she quits living
Yeah She errs on the side of grace
