Because I See thy Gift of Grace
By Effie Darlene Barba
A pilgrim’s journey through this land
Through meadow’s soft and desert sand
Beside the gentle bubbling streams
With flowers kissed by sunlit beams
Or rushing, roaring water falls
Whose beauty gasps and danger calls
Twinkling stars in the dark of the night
That guide my way and shed their light
The gentle breeze across my face
Whispering words of God’s sweet Grace
Creator Lord with all You do
What else on earth could I pursue
For all I have and all I am
Is due to You—Oh precious lamb
Who chose to die and pay my price
That I find in You, my paradise
And now I see through different eyes
This course on earth no more disguise
Its beauties shine, your glory clear
I feel the warmth your breath is cheer
To warm the chill within my soul
Like fireplace lit in winter’s snow
You blessed my life with love’s sweet kiss
That hope and joy arise amidst
The darkest trials I may face
Because I see thy Gift of Grace
