Sometimes as I go through life,
Problems come my way.
It makes me feel so far from You,
I am lost and gone astray.
Then I find You in a prayer,
You tell me that You love me.
I find you in a faithful prayer,
You say You will not leave me.
You find me in my hiding place,
I can't escape Your love.
You give me all I'll ever need,
A gift from up above.
I know I don't deserve You,
Your mercy or Your grace.
But still You're always there for me,
You shine upon my face.
