Providence
By Cynthia Grant

God will provide a way
I know He’ll provide a way
Though the way may be dark
And the path so unsure
He’ll guide our steps to the light once again
The storm clouds roll in
Black as the night
Tempest winds blow
The clouds hide the night
The waves of sorrow
Cover my head
I’m lost and wandering in a place full of dread
God will provide a way
I know He’ll provide a way
Though I feel lost and alone
Abandoned to death
The lover of my soul walks beside me each step
Thru the valley of death
With despair press in in
I feel as though
I’ll never see life again
But the arms of love
Hold me safe and tight
He won’t ever let me go
No matter the fight
God will provide a way
I know He’ll provide a way
No matter how often I fall
Or lose sight of the goal
Grace and mercy follow me all of my days
I’ve fallen so much
And He picks me up
All my mistakes
Still forgiveness fills my cup
He carries my heart
In the palm of His hand
Love I’ve never known
Without condition or demand
God will provide a way
I know He’ll provide a way
A cross on a hill
Arms of love open still
Calling my name like a lover’s sweet endearments
He loves me like no other
Just as I am now
All my flaws and foibles
He overlooks them somehow
He walks beside me everyday
He never leaves my side
He guides my steps and guards my heart
So in him all my woes I confide
Father God, Almighty Creator
Maker of Earth and Sky
To You all my focus be
In the hour of need hear my cry
And work your will in me
Supply my needs, though I may not know their name
And give me mercy and grace and help me to show the same
Guide my path far from temptation and pain
And guard my heart from evil’s stain
For you My LORD hold it all in your hand
You are the solid rock on which I stand
My God will provide a way
I know He’ll provide a way
Though the storms of life
Oft cloud the way
He’ll bring back the blue skies of day
Because My God always has a way
