..........His Grace Will Suffice..........
I just
do what I can to do my part,
No matter if great or small;
And
what I give is offered from the heart,
With no pretensions at all.
I know
that I have but what I've received,
The Lord has been good to me;
I am
thankful that His Word I believed
And obeyed and was set free.
He made
the world and all the things therein,
Heaven above, earth below;
Without
Him I'm but a poor man of sin
Not knowing which way to go.
He made
the grass and the Sycamore tree,
He sends the sunshine and rain;
Oh!
Such grand blessings He's given to me!
What more could I hope to gain?
Should
trouble be my companion each day,
And should I face many fears;
I'll
trust Him to help me along the way,
In Heaven He'll dry my tears.
Should
sickness and suffering be my lot,
And should my health quickly fade;
I'll
waste no time thinking of what I've not...
I think of the Price He paid.
If I'm
asked to give all that I've acquired,
While others’ fortunes lie still,
I'll
give it all -- if that's what is required,
As Jesus said, "Let Thy Will..."
Should
I see my dreams all fall at my feet,
My hope, my joy and my love;
I'll
not count it as a bitter defeat,
He'll pay it back, up above.
Into
this world without a thing I came,
My God provided for me;
And
when I leave this world I'll have the same,
And God will provide for me!
And so
when I am asked to sacrifice
And to go the extra mile
His
grace then for me will more than suffice:
My suff'ring's but for a while.
I'll
just do what I can to do my part,
His Will I'll humbly obey;
And
I'll sing His praise with a thankful heart
Till with Him I fly away.
