IN HIS GRACE

The day that I did come to be
His friend for all the world to see,
no longer someone far away
pure love within my heart to stay.

Free to live without a sin
His grace had come to dwell within,
and with His help, I can defeat
all evil that perchance I meet.

The Word was taken to my heart
stamped with His love to e’er impart,
desire to be one with Him
with Seraphim and Cherubim.

Then to share with all I meet
by word and action on life’s street,
for Jesus’ love can conquer all
and lift us up when e’er we fall.

For where He dwells, a holy place
the devil fears to show his face,
I’m not alone, He’s here in me
new life He gives, He’s set me free.
