Threads of Grace

The ink is dry upon the page

Another bill I cannot pay

This empty house, this quiet cage

Is where I watch it

slip away

I hit my knees beside the bed

And ask the shadows on the wall

Is there a single word You said

Or did You leave me here to fall?

(oh Father)

I thought You walked away from me

Left me broken in the dark

But now my healing eyes can see

You were guarding every spark You didn't take away the storm

But You made my spirit strong A neighbor brings some fresh-baked bread

A stranger holds the heavy door

Small quiet mercies softly spread

Like sunlight on a dusty floor I

can survive the wind and rain (I am strong) You hold my

hand through all the pain
