Grace Abounds

(Album: Open Hands - 2017)

When everything around me's shaken
When trials tempt me to despair
And I feel like my own heart has hardened

Towards sorrow that's too great to bear

When life has me disillusioned
When hostility and hatred seem to win
Each headline that I read
Brings me to my knees again
When it feels like hope cannot be found
Grace abounds

When couples suffer long in silence
Regretting that they dared to dream
When forgiveness is too hard to fathom
For a chasm that runs so deep

In every lonely night of waiting
In every desperate cry and bated prayer
In the moment when my faith is failing
I find You there
When it feels like hope cannot be found
Grace abounds

Hold fast my heart in troubles wake
My faith is small, but my God is great

And You said you would be near the broken
On my loneliest of days, I am never alone
And I know you will bring peace
Surpassing what my mind can know
So steady now my weary soul
O love that never let's me go
When it feels like hope cannot be found
Grace abounds
