I Belong
by Effie Darlene Barba
I think of all the Grace you’ve shown
Abounding love poured to my heart
The Joy in you, how it has grown
How could I doubt or e’er depart
This faith abiding in You God
You taught me through this journey trod
When Satan slivers like a snake
Accusing me of selfish pride
Of guilt and shame my heart would break
Were You not here to take my side
You paid my price and set me free
That I might soar for all to see
Chorus:
I think of all the Grace you’ve shown
Abounding love poured to my heart
The Joy in you, how it has grown
How could I doubt or e’er depart
This faith abiding in You God
You taught me through this journey trod
And Satan’s raging, roaring sounds
As lion striking at my life
When sorrow, pain and grief abounds
The world around so filled with strife
When faith would quake beneath my feet
Your victory sounds- I won’t retreat
Dear Lord, I feel Your presence near
How can it be such Joy is mine
I’m blessed with love and hope it’s clear
Your Glory in my heart does shine
No need to know tomorrow’s song
You’ve grasped my hand and I belong
