His Precious Bounty Shines Through

In a harborless sea I was sailing, being tossed too and fro by despair, sinking deeper beneath an unlighted wave of woe; surfaced by faith alone. In a foggy haze I once wandered, trying to please while dismayed I was, no good in me only Grace you see; given from the one who set me free. In a canyon of darkness I dwelt, being led by an unseen hand, firm is the grip that will not let me go; loving and strength is the One who gave. In a valley of dust I tried and failed, accompanied by a presence so devine, standing by me is my rest and only hope; eternity is just beyond the rise ahead. In a joy encompassed embrace, forever I will remain, no fears shall alram me, drawn nearer unto my harbor; my God! (c) June 18, 2006
