Last year on Christmas Eve.
The Grace of God Shines Tonight
The grace of God shines tonight,
Brightening the evening sky.
A new star with endless light,
Were the babe doth lie.
If you listen you might hear
The baby faintly cry.
Love replaces doubt and fear
With His gentle sigh.
Dearest Savior of my soul,
I feel Thy love.
I feel full
Of joy and peace
That only cease
When I leave Thy grace,
And face a darkened sky.
Yet even then,
I feel Thy love.
I feel Thee beckoning me home.
The son that’s lost his way,
I can only say,
“I love you.”
“I need Thee more than I can understand.”
You take my hand.
You take me home.
In every fiber of every bone,
I feel Thy love.
I feel Thy grace,
And just in case I feel alone,
You give the greatest ever known:
Thy Spirit.
I feel it on this holy night…
…I feel Thy love.
