Grace-Filled Life
It is by God’s grace, rich and free
That makes my life wondrously blest
Midst surprises of divine glee
Marked with miracles for faith’s crest.
Existence inside loving nest
Of home around kind sharing spree
Always prevails with cheerful zest
It is by God’s grace, rich and free.
Beyond doubts of survival plea
Despite challenging trial test
I’m propped by Christ to Whom I flee
That makes my life wondrously blest.
Thanking the Lord for provision’s best
My heart receives spiritual key
To pray against selfishness’ pest
Midst surprises of divine glee.
As I abide in truth’s decree
Radiating heavenly quest
Trust glows revealing praise degree
Marked with miracles for faith’s crest.
Living well, smiting sinful pest
Triumphant along service-quay
I stay blissful, serenely pressed
To declare hope my soul does see
“It is by God’s grace*.”
*1 Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
