Here's a song I wrote

SUSTAINING GRACE

Lawrence Webb  ©June 2009

TUNE: HE LEADETH ME

When shadows fall across the sky, 

In sorrow’s wake, we groan and cry,

How can we cope in life’s mad race?

The answer: God’s sustaining grace.

Refrain:

God’s grace sustains us ev’ry day, 

Sustains us all along the way;

Sufficient for whate’er we face,

Give thanks for God’s sustaining grace.

When illness comes with no known cure,

We wonder how we can endure.

It seems too much for us to face.

Until we claim sustaining grace.

Refrain

Sometimes we are so sad and lone.

Life’s harder than we’ve ever known.

But then we feel Christ’s warm embrace.

He holds us with sustaining grace.

Refrain

With all the stress and strain of life,

We struggle on amid the strife.

But when we see Christ’s loving face,

We claim anew sustaining grace.

Refrain
