Analysis of Upheld by Grace



I shall trust You, Lord.
with the heart of child,
as You teach me in Your Word,
upon it-- rely.

Tempter  comes to steal away
that which You have sown,
but the faith that You instill
roots will push  and  grow.

So impart that trust, oh, Lord
that to mountains speaks,
that uncovers, truth reveals,
by Your grace and mercy, heals.
