It Was Your Grace

My post for today is yet another song. It is from a group of musicians I've talked about before - Sovereign Grace - and the song is from the album Valley of Vision. This CD is full of songs inspired by the classic book of Puritan prayers of the same title. This particular song is called "It Was Your Grace" and is based on the Valley of Vision prayer "Grace in Trials."

It Was Your Grace

It was Your grace that drew me to the cross
It was Your grace that gave me faith
It was Your grace that reconciled me to Yourself
Though I had sinned in every way
You disarmed me of everything that I would lean on
So I would lean on You
And You stripped me of everything I would depend on
So I’d depend on You

In You alone my strength is found
In You alone my hope abounds
In You alone my strength is found
My life is bound up in You

And in my weakness give me still more grace
Grace to cast myself on You
In every trial let me find Your peace and joy
And grace to humbly walk with You
O disarm me of everything that I would lean on
So I will lean on You
Jesus, strip me of everything I would depend on
So I’ll depend on You

Give me more grace
Give me more grace
And new mercies every morning
Give me new mercies
