Grace Thoughts

When tears of sorrow and suffering Crash down in thunderous waves, Lift your eyes to Heaven's light Where shines Christ's glorious rays.          •           •           •           •           •              For from on high, the sun shines true Though darkness clouds the eye; And in each dreary teardrop day The Son of God is nigh.            •           •           •          •           •             For in these prisms GLORY shines God's promises divine, Gleaming jewels of priceless worth Woven in faith's skies   •          •          •          •          • The dazzling jewels of shining light, Faith yearns deeply to display, Are reflections of Christ's glory In the teardrops He arrays.
