Because I See thy Gift of Grace

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 waterfalls
Whose beauty gasps and danger calls
Creator Lord with all You do
Whom else on earth could I pursue
For all I have and all I am
Is due to You—My precious lamb
You chose to die and pay my price
In You I find my paradise
And now I see through different eyes
This course on earth no more disguise
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

8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:8-10
