Through the battles we face both from those that surround us and those within, where do we find the strength to stand? Our only hope lies within our relationship with Jesus Christ, as we lean on Him. He is our strength, our hope, our Savior and our King. In Him we find the Grace to Stand.
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God (Romans 5:1-2)
THE GRACE IN WHICH I STAND
by Effie Darlene Barba
Oh, feeble heart, Oh fragile soul
Where is the hope on which you hold?
With all the failures of your past
Where is the faith to make you bold?
Where is the faith to make you bold?
There was a King though blameless He
That came to pay my penalty
And in that act, He set me free
To follow Him in liberty
To follow Him in liberty
It is His love that drew me out
And in His Grace, I shall not doubt
That He who started this work in me
Will finish it with a Glorious Shout
Will finish it with a Glorious Shout
One day the finished work be done
That I might look then like God’s son
Sifted, shined just like pure Gold
As Glory shines forth, Glorious One
As Glory shines forth, Glorious One
And in this hope my faith conformed
I know my life will be transformed
I stand upon this future grace
So, for His work my passion warmed
There, for His work my passion warmed
So, in this faith I firmly stand
That formed in me as God had planned
No force on earth can shake me free
My future held by God’s great hand
My future held by God’s great hand.
