'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The world shall soon to ruin go,
The sun refuse to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Shall be forever mine.
When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun.
She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her
mine
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
I'd never ask for anything again.
(chorus)
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't
care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.
She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my
dreams
And I could tell that time had changed me
In her eyes too it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days
There wasn't much we could recall
I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all.
And as she walked away and I looked at my wife
And then and there I thankedd the good Lord
For the gifts in my life.
*chorus*
Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often
unanswered...
