By God's Grace We Go

Each hurdle we have overcome
Does not mean we are good
Each vice to which we don’t succumb
Each test we have withstood
Each success that we celebrate
Each victory we applaud
Each kindness that we demonstrate
All by the grace of God 

By God's grace we achieve the goal

By God's grace when we fall

His goodness and love will console

If on His name we call

For not one iota of worth

Is self-effected, no

But every day while here on earth

Tis by God's grace we go

..so pray to Him and lean on Him

God keeps His promises

When life is dark and hope seems dim

He never forsakes us

Each difficulty that we face

Each sorrow and each groan

By the kind mercy of God's grace

Will be a steppingstone

 

For none are righteous, no, not one

We all need forgiveness

By His grace we receive pardon 

If we our sins confess

If we humble ourselves before

The God of earth and heaven

The gift of grace He will outpour

And His strength will be given

Romans 8:26

 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. 

We do not know what we ought to pray for, 

but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.

 

2 Co.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 about my weaknesses, 

so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
