A Glimmer of Grace:
Kyrielles of Blessings' Bells
He welcomes me to an empty chair,
As wings unseen glide with us there.
My drought is drenched with simple prayer.
A glimmer of grace is greater than gold.
Fierce fury flies, and guilt departs,
Along with the accuser’s darts,
I’m rescued by the Prince of hearts.
A glimmer of grace is greater than gold.
The angels whisper, “Free at last.”
My winter’s tale has lost its blast,
For love divine is unsurpassed.
A glimmer of grace is greater than gold.
His mercy leaves no room for doubt.
My darkest memories, cast out.
Lord, make me evermore devout.
A glimmer of grace is greater than gold.
With thankful heart, no longer torn,
I rise to meet the purest morn.
Clothed in His light, may truth adorn.
A glimmer of grace is greater than gold.
