God's Grace

His grace is new every morning
It helps me thru each day
When darkness overwhelms me
His light will guide my way

Though obstacles await me
And it seems I’ve hit a wall
His wings of mercy surround me
And catch me when I fall

And as I press on forward
at times I still fall back
that’s when I need to remember
it’s his counsel and word I lack

so humbly to the cross I must
drag my sinful heart
and realize that each morning
this should be my start

For its by his will I awaken
To journey another day
To seek his face with gladness
And to willfully obey

When I try to do things my own way
I then give the enemy a foot
I find myself in the mire
Covered in prideful soot

The only way to recover
Is to come back to my humble position
Where I am safe and protected
from the enemies opposition

Jesus is my reason, He’s my life
He’s in my soul
And pleasing him, obeying Him
Is my ultimate goal

So I must release my fleshly wants
And needs and know his way is best
And then I will find tranquility
That’s where I will find rest.
