Songtext von Grace And Nothing More

I thought while on this voyage long My strength god would increase And at some point along the way My struggling would cease I fought with boldness, wind and wave And yet the skirmish lost Exhausted, all provision gone The channel still uncrossed As lifeless i in stillness drift Just strength enough to pray It's only then i feel the surge That speeds me on my way By his own hand and faithfulness He steers me toward a distant shore And the wind that billows in the sail Is grace and nothing more Yes, it's grace and nothing more I seek the bloom of holiness He leads me deep within Reveals the hardness of my heart Unearths my hidden sin My barren soul groans in despair In brokenness i cry Oh, god, i find no hope in me A smile his sweet reply For where the tears of brokenness Have soaked the fallow ground The tender shoots of holiness Now spring up all around Strength in my weakness Joy through the pain Hope when i'm helpless Loss my greatest gain
