BY HIS GRACE

[MIRIAM JACOB]

BY HIS GRACE


By His grace I am who I am

By His grace alone I will stand

I could not make it through each day

Unless Gods grace paved my way

I am nothing without Him

He is the air I breathe

He calms the storms,

Which blow fierce winds against me



Yesterday is gone

Tomorrow is yet to be faced

So I will live and enjoy today,

Strengthened by His grace

Knowing my God is always with me

Gives me such comfort and security

He can make a dark cloudy day,

Shine bright and blue

Nothing will happen to me today

That He won’t see me through

How do the people that don’t

know God, ever get by?

How do they find that peace

And security in their life?



What do they rely on?

On whom do they depend?

Who do they reach for

When they cannot find a friend?

I have stood outside of Gods grace

And I know what its like

To have no security, comfort

And peace in my life

I know what it is like to feel

Like you are slipping

And have no one reach for you

I know what it is like to be tormented

By depression and be confused



I have lived with that emptiness

And could not find anything to satisfy my need

I have known the craving

For something to fill the deep void within me

I stood outside His grace for far too long

Now I am covered,

Wrapped securely in His grace where I belong

Suffering, trials and pain,

Unfortunately I will never be able escape

But I know He will see me through

And strengthen me by His grace



He will give me the power to overcome

What I would never be able to overcome myself

My God is my refuge in times of trouble;

His ears are attentive to my cries for help

He will reach for my hand,

Give me strength to stand

He will be there, whether my

Troubles are big or small

I can trust my Heavenly Father

Will give me the grace to endure them all



The more I suffer in my life

The closer I get to my Saviour

And Lord Jesus Christ

I cannot run from the trials and suffering,

Which I will at times have to face

But, I can stand and overcome them,

When I am strengthened by His grace
