a song in your heart

Grace, written by Carolyn Hamlin, is one of the most encouraging songs I know. The ladies ensemble sang this song Sunday night and my heart was again blessed by these words. A few years ago, my oldest son sang this song at a close friend's funeral, and it is still a very emotional song for me. The song reminds us that God will give us grace for every day and for everything we face in this life. He is always there for us, as the song says "when I am faltering, I still will find you(God) there."

Grace

Lord, as I seek your guidance for the day,
I find my thoughts unyielding: confusion clouds my way,
But, then when I bow to you,

the challenges you guide me through,
Your promises are ever new: I claim them for today.

Your will cannot lead me where your grace cannot keep me.
Your hand will protect me: I rest in your care.
Your eyes will watch over me: Your love will forgive me.
And when I am faltering, I still will find you there.

Each new day’s design is guided by your hand,
And graciously revealed as I seek your Master plan.
Keep my footsteps faithful when from you I go.
Return me to the joy that your blessings can bestow.

Your will cannot lead me where your grace cannot keep me.
Your hand will protect me: I rest in your care.
Your eyes will watch over me: Your love will forgive me.
And when I am faltering, I still will find you there.

Your eyes will watch over me,
Your love will forgive me,
And when I am faltering,
Lord, I will find you there.
