The Gifts of Grace




The blessings of God’s Providence
 Provide the steadfast evidence
Raise  attitudes of gratitude 
With eyes of faith God’s grace is viewed

We take the credit for  our gains 
We take for granted what’s attained
To see what you alone provide
Lord, Take away our haughty  pride!

So now shake off the fearful guilt
Forsake the sands on which we’ve built
So realize the gifts of grace
Christ’s pardoning voice and embrace

As through our afflictions  and trials
We may pass for this little while
His truth in fresh ways He will speak
When we are meek and we are weak

He shows us what He is for us
When we walk by true faith and trust
Until it's deeply  understood 
That God is good, He is so good!

So now shake off the fearful guilt
Forsake the sands on which we’ve built
So realize the gifts of grace
Christ’s pardoning voice and embrace
