By The Grace of God Lyrics

Lyric discussion by PerfumeManiac 

Cover art for By The Grace of God  lyrics by Katy Perry

The song is about her depression after her divorce. And also having suicidal thoughts. I think it is similar to Roar in some lyrics. For example the lyric, Was 27 surviving my return to Saturn, she was 27 years old when she was divorced. And why I think that it has a similar meaning with Roar is because she sings, By the grace of God (there was no other way) I picked myself back up (I knew I had to stay) I put one foot in front of the other and I Looked in the mirror and decided to stay Wasn't gonna let love take me out That way

Roar has almost those same lyrics in the song. Like, you put me down but I got up. I think it has so much meaning to it. It is a beautiful ballad with a gospel touch.
