I may not remember the beginning

The past may fade away from memory

The present may be something I cannot see beyond,

Something that escapes me

The end may be something I am not aware of,

A sudden sigh

But this one thing I know -

That the Lord is faithful

And not one of His words falls untrue

I may not know what it looks like

But I am more than victorious

Even though I may be suffocated in blindness by what I get from my senses and inclinations

I am on the right path, the path of redemption

It is found by grace,

The grace of moving forward

I am found in Your sight

Where the past and the future are equally complete

Complete Your grace in me, dear God!

Let the fullness of Your mercy inhabit my today

Let this prayer be a witness that I was here,

For in this vapor is Your enduring glorification

Thank you,

For these moments right here and now

Let the nations and lives of this world see through the vision of Your grace

Let the splendor of Your majesty of sure hope be beheld

Let Your partnership with man be relaxed in,

And Your ever-abiding lovingkindness, let strength arise in

Let the wonder of Your name and deeds,

Worlds to come,

Be spoken in

Your ineffable attributes,

Families to come,

Be cherished and known in

Oh, precious God!

Bless this world with the light of faith, beyond my generation,

For Your name’s sake, and Your precious Son’s sake
