Filled by Grace
Everything I haveAll the blessings I receivedI can’t boast about themBecause I never own a thing They are all borrowedAnd will only last for a momentThe things that I acquiredIt’s all because of God’s goodness So I choose to live each dayAs if I am so privilegedI learned to treasure everythingThat God has given It’s all by His graceAnd not about my strengthHe just loved me so muchAnd provided me with what I need I rest in the truthThat I can’t carry anything when I dieSo I’ll use what I have right nowTo glorify and magnify His name
