By Grace

There is nothing
I could have done
I did not deserve it
but if I did
then it would not be grace

I tried so hard
only to fail
my best would not do
so I fell on my knees
And cried out to You

You reached out
Your hand
to pick me up
then dusted me off
and set me on higher ground

You watered me with
Your spirit
You shone your rays
of love
on me
and You helped me to grow

You are holding my hand now
I will not fear
for I know
You will not
leave me here


Your spirit Lord
is upon me
it is your words
I shall speak
You are there to guide me
You will not let me stray

Lord cover me
with Your glory
fill me with Your spirit
shine on me with Your love

Radiate through me Lord
teach me to soar
release me to do Your work
set a fire in me that can not
be quenched

Show me Lord
what to do
help me to
always
depend on You

Help me lord
for I can not do it
without You
I will go where
You lead
help me to always
depend on You

I trust You Lord
You will not
let me fall
for You saved me
by Your grace
it is by Your grace
that I will stand
for You
