Praise God for grace so freely given
Bolt the door against little anxieties
Keep bravely on and you will see,
The jolts and jars which we encounter
Are part of life’s unfolding destiny.
Praise God for the grace so freely given
The strength to face each passing day,
And faith that keeps you looking upward
Despite the setbacks on the way.
Scan the sky and find a golden streak
Overlook the gloom and clouds of grey,
Mindful faith as a grain of mustard seed,
Warms the heart and lights the way.
Though fresh conditions may confront you
Give thought to the seeds you are sowing,
Unseen hands reach out to help you
Give you strength and keep you growing.
