FAITHFUL GRACE
Together hand in hand.
The years have passed,
But this love we share remains steadfast.
The storms may come, as storms will do;
The seas may rage as we sail through
This life together side by side
But we have a refuge, a place to hide:
The mighty name of our Lord,
Our strong tower; His Word our sword
To fight the battles, not of flesh or bone
To stand firm in faith, in righteousness not our own.
Many waters cannot quench this love,
That binds our hearts in life to God above.
Rivers cannot wash it away
For it is a mighty flame that burns night and day.
It is a picture for all to see---
A picture of Christ's love at Calvary,
Loving His bride in life and death;
Washing her clean with His blood and breath.
Sacrificing His all, for her gain;
Enduring God's wrath through agonizing pain.
Resting lifeless and cold in the grave,
Raised to life with power to save,
Ascended to Heaven and seated on High,
Coming again on clouds in the sky.
This is the love of Christ for His own
Those born again of faith, not of blood or bone,
For on them He lavishes FAITHFUL GRACE
And promises one day that they will see His face.
This love so strong, that it conquered death and the grave,
Is the love we share through the stormy waves,
Through the sunshine streaming on gentle seas---
The love I see, when you look at me.
For poured deep into your soul
Is Christ's love, which has made you whole.
And now His love, you lavish upon me:
His FAITHFUL GRACE for all to see.
