Gracious God Above

Listen to poem:

Dedicated to a dear friend for putting words into tune Gracious God above, grant me grace Grant me grace in the trials I face Grant me peace when I’m ill at ease In You alone I find release Gracious God above, grant me grace Grant me grace as I run this race Grant me joy despite endless toils Storing riches that do not spoil Gracious God above, grant me grace Grant me grace to walk in good pace Grant me love from heav’n above Help me love with Your love

Yeah, my friend is a very talented pianist. She even knows how to play our church's pipe organ and a bit of the bass guitar. When I have the chance to, I will make an audio recording of my singing and her piano playing :)

Hi Jo. I have uploaded the audio recording of the tune. It's just piano playing as I haven't had the chance to sit down with my friend to sing the words with her piano accompaniment :) Tell me what you think about the tune :)
