GRACE UPON GRACE


As I think upon the things of God,
And ponder on his Word;
Sometimes my head starts spinning
From all the things I’ve heard!


I think of all his teachings
And things he’d have me do;
And I seem so weak and helpless,
And my good points seem so few!


Then I think of times I’ve failed him
And let him down, and then;
It seems my Saviour lifts me up,
And leads me on again!


He’s so patient with my failures
When I fail to stand the test;
And he blesses beyond measure
When I give to him my best.


And though at best, I’m so unworthy,
And don’t always understand;
Still, he gently leads me onward
With his precious, nail-scarred hand!


Then, someday, when this race on earth
At last has all been run;
He’ll take me home in spite of failures
And reward for what I’ve done!
