Orphaned No More
Sought by the Lord to nestle in His grace
My soul now finds belongingness serene
Secured around warmth of divine embrace
Orphaned no more against abandoned scene.
Midst God’s compassion assuring my heart
I rejoice to receive pardon divine
Settling me from sins by mercy’s rampart
As confession prevails over pride-whine.
Grateful to the Father’s adoption seal
Making me blessed heir through trust earnest
My blissful spirit worships in truth zeal
While serving with faith of triumphant zest.
My life I offer in running life’s race
Sought by the Lord to nestle in His grace*.
*Psalm 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
