In Your Grace, I Abide

For today I am here, Tomorrow shall appear, Though I yearn to be with Thee, Lord. In Thy grace I abide Through life’s valley’s I stride, Lost within my foolish pride. When darkness fills the day, I seldom kneel to pray To ask Thee for support. I look up to the sky And I want to know, why? Where then is my Lord? I say. On my own I’m alone Terrified I hide, I run from Thee away. But, when all seems at its worst You come to me first, Through the solace of Your Word. You rid from me forever The chains of sin, You sever In Your righteousness, I am clothed. No deed of my own, By faith in You alone Do I place my confidence. As I sleep soundly this night, May I wake in Your light, refreshed To greet a new day.
