By God's Grace
by Shirley Pearson © 2002

Only by God's grace we are still here
To us someday He will appear
With brilliant eyes and loving smile
With Him we'll stay for a good long while
But for now we walk this earth
Until our deaths and from our birth
To others we bring some peace and light
God is with us, although out of sight
His guiding words we hear each day
Only for a while we must stay
We lend to others a tender ear
In hopes someday that they will hear
The soothing, tender words of love
Sent to them from God above
A gentle hand wipes the tears
A warm embrace rids the fears
Look up to God; He is there
Turn around. He's everywhere
He is the smile that’s on that face
He is the shelter of this place
He is the wind that blows today
Forever with us He will stay.
