His Precious Bounty Shines Through
In a harborless sea I was sailing, being tossed too and fro by despair,
sinking deeper beneath an unlighted wave of woe;
surfaced by faith alone.
In a foggy haze I once wandered, trying to please while dismayed I was,
no good in me only Grace you see;
given from the one who set me free.
In a canyon of darkness I dwelt, being led by an unseen hand,
firm is the grip that will not let me go;
loving and strength is the One who gave.
In a valley of dust I tried and failed, accompanied by a presence so devine,
standing by me is my rest and only hope;
eternity is just beyond the rise ahead.
In a joy encompassed embrace, forever I will remain,
no fears shall alram me,
drawn nearer unto my harbor; my God!
