Saving Grace
Amazing awesome loving God I give my heart to Thee
And pray that through each moment here it's You alone I see
Directing all my footsteps in the path that leads me home
Where saints are no more pilgrims nevermore to have to roam
In search of that great Kingdom that our Saviour told us of
That Kingdom that has always been established on Your love
A sure and firm foundation illustrated by the Cross
Where Love expended all it had in Christ to save the lost
The lost of whom I was one in the many years I failed
To stand upon Your Standard when by sin I was assailed
And holding not upon Your grace I let those sinners see
The darkness of a fallen heart who sought Your light in me
But now there is no darkness as long as I walk with You
And tenderly do all the things You wisely tell me to
To help another sinner who is stumbling in the way
Encouraging their every step by what I do and say
That I learn in those moments that I spend with You in prayer
Those moments when I have no doubt Your Spirit's waiting there
Where learning in Your presence all the Truths of light I see
That will produce a brighter light of love through Christ in me
And even though I stumble and at times I let You down
I know in our relationship I still have holy ground
If in my sure confession of the hurtful things I've done
I rise back to my feet again through faith in Christ Your Son
And grasp again in thankfulness Your all consuming grace
That never leaves me on my own in all the trials I face
But is there waiting for me just to put my hand in Yours
And watch as You control the time and open all the doors
That lead me in my walk with You from one place to the next
Assuring me along the way through Your inspired text
That as You've held the future in the past for men before
You still control my future and the hope I'm looking for
So Lord again I thank You for Your endless love I see
And pray that someone in my path will see that love in me
And be drawn to Your presence to be one beside Your throne
Because in me they saw Your Light that shines in just Your own
