This Day's Grace Was Enough

 

Let me start out tonight with thanks!
Though sometimes things got rough,
And by the end some stress remained,
This day’s grace was enough.
 
I stumbled now and then, oh Lord,
But I knew You were there.
So, I picked up and tried again.
There’s no need for despair.
 
Life threw a few wild hits at me
Over the past few days,
But each time I started to quit,
Some new grace caught my gaze.
 
I know that I will struggle here,
And trip more times than not,
But You’ve taught me how to rejoice
No matter what my lot.
 
You’ve shown me that pure self pity
Avails me not at all,
But lifting my voice up in thanks
Frees my heart from its thrall.
 
A thankful heart sees more blessings,
Than one blinded by tears
For everything that has gone wrong,
Or might in coming years!
 
I don’t always remember that,
I’m just human, it’s true,
But, when I get lost in the dark,
Your Light comes shining through.
 
Lord, I will finish up tonight
The way I started out.
Thank You for helping me see joy
Instead of fear and doubt.
 
2 Corinthians 12:9
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
