"Grace"

I just received a copy of this song to accompany for a girl at church.  It has a beautiful tune, but the words have struck a chord with me this week.

Lord, as I seek Your guidance for the day,

I find my thoughts unyielding, confusion crowds my way;

But then when I bow to you, the challenges You guide me through,

Your promises are ever new, I claim them for today.

Your will cannot lead me where Your grace will not keep me,

Your hand will protect me.  I rest in Your care.

Your eyes will watch over me, Your love will forgive me,

and when I am faltering, I still will find You there.

Each new day's design is charted by Your hand

and graciously revealed as I seek your Master plan.

Keep my footsteps faithful when from You I go.

Return me to the joy that Your blessings can bestow.

Your will cannot lead me where Your grace will not keep me,

Your hand will protect me. I rest in Your care.

Your eyes will watch over me, Your love will forgive me,

and when I am faltering, I still will find You there.
